    Always re-torque your lug nuts after wheels have been off!

    Ford flat washer lugs. Junk plain and simple, replaced many sets of them. Have a customer who we replaced all the studs and lug nuts once and the fronts twice, all within a few years, has to be a reason why they fail repeatedly.

    I had all eight replaced. I agree junk, that shouldn't happen. Should be recalled.
