My MY04 lost a lug nut from the right rear wheel. Maybe a freak thing but just in case. The car has 3500 miles on it and to my knowledge the wheel has been left untouched since I bought it.

I don't want anyone to freak out just a good reminder to put a lug/torque wrench on those lug nuts once in awhile.

Sure, but do me a favor and check them before you AutoX tomorrow.

I have been torquing mine to 80 ft-lbs, but I just read that some of the auto-x people torque theirs to 90 or 100 ft-lbs. I noticed after when changing the wheels recently that some of the lug nuts were not as tight as I would have expected. I think I'm going to start torquing mine a little higher than OEM specs.

I went to autozone but couldn't find an oem looking replacement so I'm out for tomorrow. Kinda sucks.

BAH! Stop your crying, you've got FOUR MORE!

Everyone knows lug nuts are for bling factor anyways. It's the MAGICAL RIM TROLLS that keep the wheels on...
