entropy Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 hey guys, its been a while since i've i've posted which is good, no real big problems w/my 2013 MKZ but... Yesterday, i had new tires put on at Discount Tire. They informed me i had swollen lug nuts and replaced them all.I looked at one of the nuts and didn't see any mashed thin steel covering which could get swollen. The lug nuts LOOKED one piece.My Linc tech said he'd not heard of that on the MKZ.google says it does sometimes happen on lug nuts that have a thin steel covering I'd be VERY appreciative of any thoughts you kind folks may have, Karl Gunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LS was the worst. Some have been caused by using wrong size socket standard instead of metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
