Febi 01221 Wheel Nut

Description

This Febi wheel nut is a critical component for securing wheels to the vehicle. It’s used on wheel assemblies to ensure safe and reliable vehicle operation. The phosphated surface treatment provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the M14 x 1,5 internal thread and 19mm wrench size guarantee a secure and efficient fastening process. This wheel nut, manufactured in Taiwan, features a flat seat collar for proper wheel alignment and meets DIN - ISO 74361 standards. Its dimensions are 58 x 87 x 185 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

These do exactly what they sound like – they secure the wheel to the vehicle. They’re threaded, so they screw onto the wheel studs, and then the lug nut tightens against the wheel, clamping everything together. Pretty simple mechanically, but relies on a good, strong connection. Basically, they’re the final piece holding your wheel on. The wheel studs are bolted to the hub assembly, and the wheel nut grabs onto those studs, holding the wheel firmly in place. Without them, the wheel wouldn’t stay attached while you’re driving, obviously. They work alongside the lug bolts, though people often use the terms interchangeably.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These are a safety critical part, no getting around that. They’re under a lot of stress – think about all the forces happening when you hit a bump, accelerate, brake, or even just drive around a corner. A loose or damaged wheel nut can lead to wheel wobble, and then things can go downhill very quickly. You’ll notice if one is missing or seriously loose because you’ll likely feel a vibration. They really act like a shield, preventing the wheel from detaching while you're moving. It’s a good idea to check them periodically to make sure they’re properly tightened. You can find replacements pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection. Ignoring them isn’t worth the risk, trust me. Product information is provided for reference only.
