rusting lug nuts????
I was detailing the wheels today and noticed that the oem lug nuts are getting rusty / beat up looking at the edges. Anyone else having this problem? I have had the tires rotated twice at the dealers and switched wheels one time myself. Doesn't seem right that they should rust so soon. If it gets much worse I will have to replace them with some that won't detract from the appearance of the car.

Do dealerships have lined sockets? I haven't taken mine in for service yet, so I'm wondering if I should purchase a socket just so they won't screw up my lug nuts. http://soundmachine.org/dci/forum/im.../icon_help.gif
Have you guys looked under your cars lately? When mine was on a lift having the duals installed, I noticed how the drive shaft and rocker arms have surface rust. From what I understand, the only thing we can do to remedy this is to replace the parts with aluminum parts. I can't understand why Ford would have used such a metal knowing it was going to rust. My car is only 8 months old! http://soundmachine.org/dci/forum/im...on_soapbox.gif |
