Need images of lug nuts

[edit]

This page on Lug nuts suffers from only showing the variants: there are photos of wheel bolts, wheel studs, locking keys, etc. but not, actually a lug nut (except installed in a wheel). --Nadalle (talk) 22:48, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added an image, see discussion below. Sauer202 (talk) 23:29, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Need good image

[edit]

We need a good image (drawing or photo) of lug nuts, that includes the tapered mating face, and if the inside can be seen, shows the internal threads. I deleted the old image, because the mating seat shown in Image:Lugnut.jpg was flat, not tapered, and because the threads were missing. 24.26.128.185 (talk) 21:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Ludlow

[edit]

I've just removed the edit "Mike Ludlow is sometimes referred to as 'Lug Nut'". I assume this is some non-notable, inside joke. A Google search reveals no hits for "Mike Ludlow" and "Lug Nut". If this is some sort of pop culture reference I'm failing to see, please excuse my ignorance. Drfoop (talk) 20:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Updated removing and replacing section

[edit]

I added some additional info about proper removal and installation of lug nuts, including a list of appropriate tools and things to pay attention to, like torque values and using a star pattern. I also changed the name of the section to removal and installation, which covers a new installation more appropriately.

Security locking lug nut

[edit]

This article could really do with a section on locking wheel nuts, especially as there one already pictured. Anyone knowledgeable on this simple security option? Kcd83 (talk) 22:50, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See MCGard locking lug nuts for details, Their style of nuts are prevalent on Honda's and their re-badged American counterpart Acura although if this option is installed from the dealer or the factory I do not know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Exosquad (talkcontribs) 08:34, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cut out personal writing

[edit]

This had been written into the "See Also" section. Personal experience doesn't belong on Wikipedia at all, let alone in a See Also section, but there might be some good information here, so somebody with good knowledge of cars or hardware may choose to find reliable sources for some of these ideas and add them to the article.

Most of what is useful in that pasted text seems to be incorporated in the article now, and some of it has even been refuted (the need for left hand threads, specifically). Sauer202 (talk) 23:29, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should "Load" be Better Defined?

[edit]

This is a good article, but should the word "load" be better defined? 64.134.227.176 (talk) 19:47, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
