I have never had any come loose where the mating surfaces were clean and the nuts were torqued to around 100lbs.

I tightened mine, ran em, re tightened, ran em, re tightened and then ran em and tightened em with loctite. The lugs seat into the aluminum that way. Haven't loosened in over 4 years.

So you did use loctite eventually after regular tightening didn't work

X3 on the torque those bitches on there...I never had any issues and I beat the **** out of mine...when I drive it. :swing:

Never had a spacer failure. NO locktite here. Just tight.


I have seen one instance of a spacer being eaten by the lugnuts. BUT, the owner bought new skinnier lugs so he could use a smaller socket that fit better in the spacer. The smaller lugs were so thin that the taper/acorn part ate into them quickly.

It's not that regular tightening didn't work, I just didn't want to take the chance of them loosening up.

While trying to climb a rock pile and then again when trying to really put my foot in it on the way back it was stumbling and it even died twice ....
