2002 Hyundai Elantra - Front Wheel Nuts / Studs Problem?
Every time someone (including Hyundai dealer service) removes any of my
2002 Elantra front tires, a wheel nut gets damaged needing to break and reinstall new stud and wheel nut. From my many years as car owner this problem has never happened this often. Is anyone else having this problem? Besides care by not mounting a thread and starting the wheel nut by-hand, is this a material quality issue? I would appreciate any/all comment(s). |
Re: 2002 Hyundai Elantra - Front Wheel Nuts / Studs Problem?
I've had this problem only a handful of times in ten years. Someone is
either overtightening the nut or crossthreading it, thus damaging the threads. If someone did this once with all wheels, then you now have 16 studs in marginal condition. Of course, if you've used aftermarket replacement studs, there could be a problem with their material quality. |
