i dont under stand, i thought it was the wheel bolts that kept the wheels on and stopcs them from coming off?!?!


the paint on the mating surface can rub and wear away, allowing them to rub more, once they have enough movement in them they will slacken the bolts off and bye bye wheel.

If you dont believe wheel nuts can loosen them selves slacken your wheelnuts a quarter turn then take your car for a blast and check them you will find they are more than a quarter turn loose!
