I finally stopped driving long enough to notice that each wheel has a unique lug nut. There is no tool or device in the trunk or glove compartment to address these special lug nuts. I can't find any info in the manual. The dealer is as befogged as I. Does anyone else have these?
That's a security lug nut.... the security socket should be in your glovebox or in the hatch cargo set. If it's missing then the dealer owes you the correct one... each and every car comes with one and has its own unique printed security-code to decipher/order a replacement if needed. Again they should have given you one as part of the accessory standard items.
Do these match Exactly with the ones that came on our RS for the Factory, picture looks different. Also the Ford web site says for 2009 RS. I want to take my wheel locks off.
Washed with chemical guys diablo wheel gel, and followed up with chemical guys citrus wash and gloss. I thought about using jet seal on them afterwards but not sure how it would hold up or if it were a TERRIBLE idea so I opted not to.
What kind of lug nuts does the RS use - thread pattern I mean? I went to try the FRPP nuts from my old Mustang, but nope, they don't fit. Surprisingly, RS lugs are 19mm, I thought they'd be 13/16. Maybe 19mm is standard for the focus.
Btw, when I checked the lock nuts for torque, they were way too loose. All the other nuts were fine.
