Lug Nuts Coming Off!

[whitelightning150]

hey guys this is the second time i have had this problem, my lug nuts keep coming loose and disappearing, the first time this happened a stud sheared off 5 others were loose, i am positive that i torqued them down enough and it just seems to happen without any warning, this morning i went outside to smoke a cigarette and i found my passenger rear missing one with two others loose. this is getting dangerous and i dont know what i can do. i have pacer rims on the truck and they are lugcentric. any help would be great.

id be calling pacer and asking them. sounds like maybe there is a problem with that wheel if its the only one doing it.

hmm idk what could be goin on? thinkin maybe worn out studs try replacing them and get new lugnuts at the same time

well i already replaced the studs on one wheel and its not just one wheel this is the second one that it has happened to.

Had the same thing happen to me while I was pulling a trailer. I snapped 6 lugs clean off, man was that a fun ride.

You did'nt happen to dump a mean girlfriend recently huh ? ?

Hopefully you find the issue before it becomes nasty.


I once canned a GF only to find my car all jacked upa few dyas later... she tore off the windshield wipers, broke the antenna, keyed it up and down, broke a mirror almost off,,,,As my anger kinda subsided, I chuckled a little bit thinking of her and trying to picture her doing this in my mind,,, all was well until I went to unlock the door ( no auto locks),,, the friggin key would not go in the hole,,, on none of the doors... She had used wooden toothpicks and superglued 3-4 together and stuck them in the key holes, then broke them off flush ..... Now THAT pizzed me right off..
