Trade a bulging, hard-to-remove factory nut for this Dorman wheel lug nut, part number 611-181.1. It is a one-piece carbon steel M12-1.50 flattop nut from Dorman - Autograde. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1998-2016 Chrysler Town & Country and 2009-2020 Dodge Journey. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The original lug nuts on certain vehicles use a failure-prone two-piece design, and warping and difficult removal are common. A thin outer veneer can be damaged with repeated use. If moisture gets underneath it, the cover can bulge, leaving the nut difficult or impossible to remove. A stuck nut usually means damaging the wheel itself to get it off. This replacement is part of Dorman's OE FIX line. It is designed to match the original's fit and function, and its one-piece build is intended to keep those problems from recurring.
- Improved design: This is a direct replacement with one-piece construction. It takes the place of the two-piece factory design, which often leads to premature failure of the wheel nut.
- Corrosion resistant: The OEM-style veneer has been removed, so there is no cover for moisture and rust to bulge and deform.
- Thoroughly tested: The part has gone through proof load, salt spray, hardness and thread check testing to meet strict standards.
- Quality engineering: It was designed in the United States and is backed by decades of automotive aftermarket experience.
