These lugs were under four years old and have less than 30 thousand miles on them.
They were purchased on Ebay for about $60-80 if I recall correctly and were supposedly the correct seat for the Fuchs and were sold as hardened steel. These would have more than likely would have failed on me in motion. Thanks for the catching this Mark, you probably saved the car and possibly my hide. Can you check it this as a primary seat issue or just junky production. |
