Thread: Jingle Jingle to Qld- No I am not santa - D3 wheel nuts

Heading for a little drive in the D3. Vic to Qld on Sunday. A noticeable Jingle when on rougher ground only heard at low speed about 20-30kph was bugging me. Lower control arms are fairly new so I was wondering if I was getting Santa's gig? Craig at Ritta's took pity on me and took a look. Kicked the wheel and hey presto he found my D3's Jingle. Wheel lug nuts are are fairly nifty on our D3s and I think the same on D4s. Apparently if you take your wheels on and off frequently over time the nuts outer casing plays father Xmas. 300,000km on mine (2005 year) with change to Muddies a few times a year plus wheel alignment and other work has had my wheels off an on several times a year.

Craig put a rubber band around all my nuts Didnt hurt a bit and no jingles. Might need to remove the rubber band for the trip due to the time of year?

The rubber band stops the nut outer casing moving. Could of course just lash out on new nuts but I like mine as they are and a little jingle bell rock at low speed is not an issue now i know what it is. Thanks Craig

I would have thought that "both" would be correct grammar.

You must have a very special relationship with Craig ......................
