When do you need to replace wheel bolts for your GLS? When do you need to change a new set of MB GLS M14x1.5 wheel bolts? I believe that most people have not considered these issues and do not care about what happened to the wheel assembly of the vehicle. However, what I want to tell you is that wheel bolts not only play a role in fixing things like ordinary bolts, they also help the wheel to be centered on the axle, and play a part of the load-bearing when encountering unconventional external force impacts. Therefore, if you do not pay attention to your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS M14x1.5 wheel bolts, they may be harmful to your driving safety.
What Happens If You Don’t Pay Attention To 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS Wheel Bolts?
If you are not working in a car modification shop, you may never know how badly the wheel bolts of your car are rusted. In relatively humid areas, due to the height of the wheels being closed to the ground, it is like half-soaked in water for a long time. This has caused almost all the wheels and wheel bolts that we have dismantled to be rusty, and it is difficult to clean them with common rust removers. Severe rust will reduce the firmness of your wheel bolts, and may stick to the wheel around, making it difficult to disassemble. This situation will pose a hidden danger to your safety.
In addition to rust, if you have driven your car for more than five years and have not replaced the wheel bolts, then aging problems will also occur. Long-term turbulence may cause permanent deformation of your wheel bolts. Once any wheel bolt is deformed, your wheel will no longer work perfectly with the axle rotor as the center. Eventually, it may cause the tire to break.
Therefore, it is very important to develop the habit of checking tires and wheel bolts regularly. Generally, when driving your vehicle without any abnormalities, we recommend checking your tires and wheel bolts once every six months. If there are jitters, unknown noises, or any unusual situations while driving, be sure to check the tires and wheel bolts.
When Do You Need To Change Your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS M14x1.5 Wheel Bolts?
In the previous article about wheel bolts of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS 550, I explained in detail how to choose the correct seat type and thread size of wheel bolts. On this basis, you must replace a set of correct wheel bolts in the following situations. Otherwise, your driving safety will not be guaranteed.
If the wheel bolts are cracked or severely rusted.
This can only be checked by removing the tires. Although this is troublesome, it is recommended that you form this habit and check your wheel bolts termly. Once you find a slight deformation or even a crack, please stop using it immediately and purchase a new set of wheel bolts to replace it. Although wheel bolts are only a very small part of the vehicle, don’t underestimate the serious impact of their mistakes on your car and safety. If you find slight rust, you can use the rust removal equipment for maintenance. If there is a serious rust situation, it also needs to be stopped using and replaced immediately.
If the length of wheel bolts isn’t enough.
If you are an auto mods enthusiast, then this situation may happen to you. For example, when refitting a set of wheel spacers, if the selected thickness exceeds the effective engagement limit of wheel bolts. Then no matter whether you meet the torque requirement when tightening the wheel bolts, the expected firmness cannot be achieved. This can easily lead to a dangerous situation where your tires fall off during driving. In order to avoid this situation, you need to choose a set of lengthened 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS M14x1.5 wheel bolts to meet the increased thickness of the wheel spacers.
