ok i have a question....... about lugnuts in particular..... i have the rays dura nuts....and was wondering if anyone has had a problem with these.....it seems as they make a wierd noise.....they are torqued to 84 lbs...... just wondering if anyone has ever had problems with them?

 

When did they make a weird noise? While you were tightening them? Do you use any anti-seize compound on the threads to keep the aluminium lug nuts from binding on the steel studs?

 

Yes they make a good creeking noise when losening them up. I use them when I am at the track & torque them to 95 ftlbs. It's like they get semi stuck to my Volks. Seems to go away after a few more trips on & off the studs.

 

yeah exact same noise.....and i lubed the lugnuts.....it actually went away now.....and everything sounds normal......thanks guys....

 

whats a good anti-seize compound? cuz it seems they do get stuck to the studs.....

 

I found a Locktite Anti-seize stick at AutoZone. It looks like a glue stick.

 

cool thanks
