How To Check For Swollen Lug Nuts On Ford Explorer
How do you check for swollen lug nuts on a Ford Explorer?
There are two ways to check for swollen lug nuts on your Ford Explorer. In this video, I'm testing the lug nuts on a 2012 Explorer. You will see the easiest way is with a 19 mm deep socket. Walk around your car and see if the socket slides right over the lug nuts. The second is to remove your lug wrench from the vehicle and see if it will fit the lug nuts. If not and you're having a hard time getting it to fit the lug nuts, it's time to replace them.
