Suggestion. I had the scenario on my recent Moz trip that on two occasions my wheel nuts came looseCATS wrote:Resurrecting a very old thread. ...... make our own SA version of this as ....
The first time i reckon the casue was the dealers not tightening the nuts properly and the second time me not cleaning the disc / rim properly when I needed the spare. Make that my fault for not checking both times.
This brings me to my suggestion of changing the set up as to how the spare is connected. I would like to see original wheel nuts being used and not studs. This will ensure one has spare wheel nuts for in case the wheel comes off and the nuts are strewn over the last few Km's
