Loose lug nuts??
Can someone tell me why the lug nuts are coming loose and falling off I am at a loss here. I have a 2011 Yamaha drive with 22×11-10 wheels and tires with 1" wheel spacers.I was riding around tonight and heard a noise on the right rear side and found 1 lug nut missing and upon further looking all the lug nuts are loose on all wheels. Any suggestions? Attached is a pic of wheels and tires I have on it. Thanks you

Re: Loose lug nuts??
Over tighting will stretch the threads on the studs causing them to start backing off.
70 ft lbs on a torq wrench is good |

Use loctite on the threads before tightening

Use a torque wrench. If you are, somethings not right…. As mentioned could use loctite but I’ve never had to on a lugnut…

Re: Loose lug nuts??
Wheel spacers can lead to loose lug nuts if things can move at all.

Re: Loose lug nuts??
How long have your spacers and wheels been installed?
New wheels, new lug studs, and new lug nuts will loosen after they have been around the block a couple times. They need to be re-torqued on occasion. 70ft lbs is a little on the high side for these. Club Car spec is 50 Ft lbs. |
