    Wheel nuts that is :)

    They keep on breaking off, on one occasion i pulled over because of a loud noise coming from my left front wheel to find there was only 2 nuts left on it.

    I went to kwik-fit and they said that whoever put the nuts on last time put them on too tight. I then took all the week nuts off and replaced them not too tight but i have still lost two since.

    Now one stub of a wheel nut is stuck in the wheel bearing itself and i cant get it out. Its a nightmare.


    Anybody have similar problems and know what is causing this. I drive a BMW e30. (a 1990 316i model)

    Chief.

    Ho ho.You'll have some fun there.You'll have to replace the bearing,and possibly the hub.Then torque you wheel nuts to BMW spec when your finished

    Then again,maybe she just wants to die.
