Infiniti Lug Nuts: Don't Get Stuck with Wheel Damage

When it comes to lug nut safety on any vehicle, including Infiniti cars, there are several important points to keep in mind:

• Proper Torque: Lug nuts should always be tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Over-tightening can lead to stripped threads or warped brake rotors, while under-tightening can result in loose wheels.
• Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect your lug nuts for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. If you notice any issues, such as rust, missing threads, or cracks, they should be replaced immediately.
• Correct Lug Nut Type: Ensure that you are using the correct type and size of lug nuts for your vehicle. Using the wrong lug nuts can cause improper seating or damage to the wheel studs.
• Proper Installation: When installing lug nuts, make sure they are properly seated on the wheel studs. Cross-threading can occur if the lug nuts are not aligned correctly, leading to potential damage to the threads.
• Wheel Alignment: Proper wheel alignment helps distribute weight evenly across the tires, reducing stress on the lug nuts. Regularly check your vehicle's wheel alignment to ensure optimal performance and safety.
• Avoid Overloading: Avoid overloading your vehicle beyond its recommended capacity, as this can put excessive strain on the lug nuts and wheel studs.
• Regular Maintenance: Include lug nut inspection and maintenance as part of your routine vehicle maintenance schedule. This can help prevent potential issues and ensure your safety on the road.

By following the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications in your owner's manual, you can help ensure the safety and longevity of your Infiniti's lug nuts and wheels.
