wheel nuts can cause the wheel to come loose
and even come
off.
This could lead to an
accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel
nuts.

you have to replace them, be sure to
get new GM original equipment wheel nuts.

the nuts tightened with a torque wrench to the
proper torque specification. See “Capacities

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. See “Capacities and
Specifications”
in
the index for the wheel nut torque
