Febi 01280 Wheel Nut

Description

This Febi Wheel Nut is a critical component for securing wheels to vehicles. It is used within the wheels and rims system, specifically for fastening wheel assemblies. Manufactured in Germany to DIN-ISO 936 standards, this union nut provides a robust and reliable connection. Its phosphated surface treatment enhances corrosion resistance, while the M22 x 2 internal thread and 32mm wrench size ensure compatibility and ease of installation. The nut's tensile strength grade of 10 guarantees exceptional durability under load.

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.
