Title: pajero wheels
Post by: supersurf on July 18, 2015, 10:59:36 AM
some pajeros were fitted with aftermarket wheels

on this particular set of alloys

there are metal inserts on each wheel nut hole

3 are missing

which will explain why the wheel when tightened has snapped the end off one of the nuts

as the nut is going to the end of the thread but not sitting flush against the wheel at all


so pajero owners beware

if you have ching chong wheels and they keep coming loose then please check the washers are there  ?
