Dorman - Autograde Wheel Lug Nut P/N:611-231
Replace swollen, hard-to-remove factory nuts with these Dorman lug nuts for the 2010-2011 Ford Fusion, 2010-2011 Lincoln MKZ and 2010-2011 Mercury Milan. The Dorman - Autograde Wheel Lug Nut 611-306 is an OE FIX replacement. It matches the original's fit and function but uses a one-piece carbon steel design in place of the failure-prone two-piece factory nut.
On certain vehicles, the original lug nuts are built in two pieces with a thin veneer that can be damaged with repeated use. If moisture gets under that veneer, the cover can bulge. The nut can then be difficult or impossible to remove, and freeing a stuck nut often means damaging the wheel itself. This Dorman wheel nut is designed to keep those problems from returning.
Specifications: M12-1.50 thread, dome top capped style, 19mm hex, 37.6mm length.
Interchange: AE5Z1012A · BE5Z1012A

Will this Dorman Autograde wheel lug nut fit my 2010 Ford Fusion?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2011 Ford Fusion. The Buyer's Guide tab has the full application details.
What are the specifications of this lug nut?
It has an M12-1.50 thread, a 19mm hex and a 37.6mm length, with a dome top capped style.
Why does this lug nut use a one-piece design?
The factory two-piece design has a thin veneer that can bulge if moisture gets underneath it. This one-piece carbon steel nut has no veneer, so there is no cover to swell or deform.
What are signs a lug nut may need replacing?
Common signs include a swollen or bulging cap, a damaged outer veneer, or a socket that no longer fits properly and makes the nut hard to remove.
How do I install a Dorman wheel lug nut?
Start it on the wheel stud by hand, then tighten it in a star pattern to the torque value in your vehicle's service information.
