Lug nut fix pics

 golf cart lug nut fix pic

What happens when you don't tighten down the lug nuts on your golf cart and drive for several weeks as they slowly loosen? The lug nut threads get worn, creating a problem that requires a replacement.

A trip to the local hardware store proved the special nuts were not a common item, but a regular one was that had the same thread ratio, and to compensate for the lack of shoulder I just added a beefy washer. We've been driving it this way for a couple of months now with no problem.
