Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause

a crash. Be sure to use the
correct wheel nuts. If you have to

GM original equipment
wheel nuts.
Caution
Improperly tightened wheel nuts
can lead to brake pulsation and
rotor damage. To avoid expensive
brake repairs, evenly tighten the
wheel nuts in the proper
sequence and to the proper
torque specification.
