Re: Stripped lugbolts (was: Governor o-ring (was:Re: [T3] Passed test - good and bad news))

Yes, that bolt doesn't look too good. Do all the bolts on that wheel look
bad?
I wonder if it might have been driven with loose lug bolts on that wheel
at
some time.
I've remembered something that may be relevant: When I first started driving
the car that wheel - rear left - was drastically out of balance. I was told
that you could actually see it wobbling, like it had been kerbed hard and
never fixed.
I took it to one of those places with a computerised wheel balancing gizmo
who got it perfect, after hitting it very hard with a very big hammer.
If it had been like that for a few years then maybe that could have put
strain on the bolts and eventually weakened them so that now they're
stripping, or maybe the actual kerbing incident did it.
