Check Your Nuts
kballowe:
We all check the tire pressure on our bikes.... and give them the general "once-over".
But, how many check the lug nuts on their 4-wheeled conveyances ?
This is #8 and #9 that I've picked up off the road - in just this past week, and all in the local area.

I haven't checked lugnut torque, etc. in years. The vehicle & tire manufacturers recommendations for tire rotation on my vehicles is at least once per year based on my annual mileage. The road hazard warranty I bought for $10/tire includes free balancing & rotation every 5k miles so I haven't done anything with lugnuts in years (except for my Wing w/single sided swing arm & 5 lugnuts)

Yes, but don't you ever walk around your vehicle and look to make sure that you have all of your lug nuts?

Had that happen to us last summer. Two lugs sheared also. Also the first time I had the rear wheel off the Norge I just put it back on w/o a torque wrench. Also came loose on me.

Sadly, no.
