Replacing wheel nuts or wheel bolts

In practice, it turns out that the risks of broken wheel bolts or wheel nuts are often underestimated. For safety, it is especially important that the pretension force is sufficient. This ensures that the parts of the wheel continue to behave as one. Research has shown that this tension decreases when assembling for the second time. The more often you use them, the less the prestressing force becomes. Therefore, it is recommended to use new wheel bolts or wheel nuts as a preventative measure. Also, do this when you switch from winter tyres to summer tyres or vice versa. Note: you will also have to buy new nuts or bolts if they are rusty or damaged.

Broken wheel nuts or bolts

A broken bolt or nut is often caused by incorrect tightening. Are the bolts and nuts tightened too tightly? Then the thread may be damaged or may even break off. But, also temperature differences, moisture and brine can cause damage to the wheel bolts and wheel nuts. To identify broken wheel bolts or wheel nuts, you will need to regularly inspect them. Loosening and checking is sufficient for this.

Removing wheel nuts and wheel bolts

If you want to replace the wheel bolts or wheel nuts, it is important that the new ones match with the mounting bolts and nuts. Also, take the conical and spherical aspect into account. It is not possible to place spherical bolts in a conical seat and vice versa. Conical means that the head of the wheel bolt is tapered. A spherical one runs round. In addition, the thread size is also important. At Winparts you can easily enter your number plate number or car model on the site. The suitable bolts or nuts for your car will be displayed. Please note: do you use track wideners or spacers? Then you will have to use longer bolts.

When assembling new wheel bolts and wheel nuts, you can follow these installation guidelines:

Follow the manufacturer's instructions;

Ensure that the bearing surface of the bolt and rim is clean and undamaged;

Only use a torque wrench / wheel wrench;

Tighten the bolts and nuts equally in the correct order.

Wheel nuts & bolts

Wheel nuts or wheel bolts ensure that your wheels remain attached to the car. With each type of rim comes a kind of wheel bolt or wheel nut. When changing from summer tyres to winter tyres, it is important that you use the correct wheel nuts or wheel bolts. It is essential that the fit of the nut or bolt matches the wheel rim. At Winparts you can easily find the right products with your number plate or car model.
