Missing lug nut

[FastlaneFanatic28]

I always do a visual inspection of my car before driving, and I noticed that a lug nut cover was missing. To my surprise, the entire lug nut was gone. Pretty weird...

Whoa, that’s odd! Good catch! Definitely grab a replacement, and while you’re at it, give those other lug nuts a quick check to make sure they’re tight too.

It’s great that you do those visual checks; they can help catch issues like that before you drive. I hope it’s an easy fix.

It’s good you caught that during your inspection. Missing a lug nut could be a safety concern, so definitely get it replaced soon. I’d also check the other lug nuts to ensure they’re properly tightened.

What could be the cause for the missing?
