lug bolts wont stay tight

Post by WannabeRacer »

I did a test fit with my new wheels ( need hub rings ) just to see what the would look like and i feer I may have fucked up my right fron hub somehow.

the lug bolts wont stay tight anymore after a couple of days I'll start to hear a clunk and need to tighten. I was thinking of getting some double ended bolts from autozone and locktighting them in ( I dont trust those wierd inny bolts) plus then i will be able to use locking lug nuts

will that solve my problem or is this gonna be more expensive?

also anybody know what the ideal size bolts would be?

This would be a bad idea. I suggest just getting a new wheel hub.

You may have wrong bolts with the wheels (some wheels may require special bolts, with different seat face angle. Also, make sure your torque bolts down to 100 lbs.
