The original lug nuts on certain vehicles have a failure-prone two-piece design that makes warping common and removal difficult. There's often a thin veneer that gets damaged with repeated use . and if moisture gets underneath it can cause the cover to bulge. Those failures can make the nuts difficult or impossible to remove . and if they get stuck . removing them usually requires damaging the wheel itself. This Dorman OE FIX replacement matches the OE fit and function but has a one-piece . carbon steel design to prevent similar issues from happening in the future.
