But his SHO is a '94... One of the most common causes of wheels loosening up is the torque spec
or a improper acorn style lug nut. If it's too narrow or too wide of a taper, it'll have less
holding power. We always have our local Pep Boys screw ups come to our shop on a flat bed and a
very pissed customer. I'd double check the lug nuts themselves. But I'd definitely check those
rotors as well though. You never know nowadays with the "qualified" workers behind some of the
counters.
Neno.. qualified.. hah!
