Are your nuts tight?

[SteveJ]

Quick warning to all - Mark has just arrived at my place complaining that his car is making a clunking noise at low speed (ie just rolling) other than that the car seemed fine.

A quick check around the car revealed all but one of the wheel nuts had worked loose, and they had been fitted using an air-gun only days before.

I know the hand-book says you should check this sort of thing on a regular basis, but how many of us do?

Check before it's too late  s:( s:(

Blimey!

Did you not finish the job with a torque wrench Mark?

[markiii]

normally yes, in this instance no.

I'm just glad thats all it was.

mental note. no short cuts.   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

I do.

The bolts never seem to hold tight with alloy wheels...unless you over torque them.
