Replace swollen, hard-to-remove factory lug nuts with the Dorman wheel lug nut 611-094.1, a one-piece OE FIX replacement that secures the wheel on its stud without the veneer cover that causes trouble on some original nuts. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2002-2019 Ford Explorer, 1974-1976 Dodge Charger and 2007-2014 Ford Edge. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
On certain vehicles, the original lug nuts use a two-piece design. A thin veneer cover on these nuts can be damaged with repeated use, and moisture that gets underneath can make the cover bulge. The nut can then be difficult or impossible to remove, and freeing a stuck nut often means damaging the wheel. This Dorman Autograde wheel lug nut is designed to match the OE fit and function. Its one-piece carbon steel design is intended to keep those problems from happening again.
- Improved design: a direct replacement with one-piece construction. It replaces the two-piece factory design, which often leads to early wheel nut failure.
- Corrosion resistant: the OEM-style veneer is gone, so there is no cover for moisture and rust to get under and bulge or deform.
- Thoroughly tested: proof load, salt spray, hardness and thread check testing to meet strict standards.
- Quality engineering: designed in the United States and backed by decades of automotive aftermarket experience.
Specifications: 1/2-20 thread, dome top, 3/4 in. hex, 1-5/8 in. length.
