Rusted Lug Nuts 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Pat on  Sat Oct 11 13:48 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi, All,

I was at the junkyard today and found some old lugnuts for my 240. They were rusted but appeared to screw in. I cleaned the rust with naval jelly, but wonder if I should do anything else to keep the lug nuts from rusting.

    Lug nuts are to keep your wheels on the car=safety

    It depends on your estimate that they still can perform there task

    Is should buy 20 new ones at a volvo shop,
    they are yellow chromed, brandnew and already rust protected

    and they will screw on with no probs


    Too keep them in the same state, I apply a little of graphite, mixed with a little oil (to fluidize the though graphite)

    PS Perhaps you also need to clean the studs with a wire brush
