When I went to put my 17X9's on yesterday the very first lug nut I tried to take off felt very strange. It was tight, in fact too tight. Then I noticed it didn't look exactly straight I actually thought the stud might break before it came off, but it didn't. It was crossthreaded and completely boogered up the threads of the nut and stud It looks like the jammed the nut full of JB Weld and impacted it on to ship it.

I don't know whether to take it back to the dealer and let them fix it, or just eat it and do it myself. It's clearly Ford's responsibility, but I don't know if I want my car sitting at a dealer's shop having who know what gorilla working on my car.

That blows, but doesn't surprise.

I'd be p*ssed. Then I'd show it to the dealer and make them give me the parts, so I could fix it myself.

I'm going to figure out how to do an awful lot of work on this car 'cause I don't have the nerve to let Ford's factory-tormented techs touch it.

Mine were very tight...the same guy that torqed the shift knobs on some of your cars put my lugs on.
