tant information about wheel bolts
Factory-fitted rims and wheel bolts are spe-

with the right length and heads must be used.

that the brake system functions correctly.
In certain circumstances, you should not even
use wheel bolts from vehicles of the same
model.
On wheels with integral hubcaps, the anti-theft
wheel locking bolt must be screwed in the posi-
