Wheel cap nuts
4-2
WARNING Use of chrome-plated cap nuts which have chrome plating on
the surfaces which contact the wheel can cause reduced and inconsistent
wheel clamping.
This condition can cause wheels to loosen and disengage from the vehicle,
causing injury or death.
Never use cap nuts with chrome-plated contact surfaces. Use only
recommended hardware on Alcoa aluminum wheels.
There are many types of nuts and studs in use, and their design and specifications are
not standardized. The “R” and “L” on cap nut part numbers indicate right and left-hand
threads respectively. Alcoa recommends the following cap nuts for use with Alcoa
aluminum truck wheels:
