This sounds like a good case of 'letting someone else touch your car =

mistake'  The different sized studs and nuts should be on opposing sides =

to minimize vibration and out of balance.  If they were further from the =

pivot point, I'd change them back for sure.

Subject:	Mysterious rattle almost solved



Ever since I had a wheel bolt stripped by some mechanics, they decided

to replace it with a new one, plus for some reason they decided to

replace the wheel nuts with smaller metric ones...So now I have two

standard wheel nuts and two smaller ones.



Does anyone know the size of the OEM nuts (15mm?).  I think this is

where my rattle is coming from (note: no shimmy in the ride at all).



Sometimes it's just best to DO IT YOURSELF!
