Australian Made Extended Wheel Nut Indicators – Multiple Sizes

Designed specifically for applications where conventional wheel nut indicators may be difficult to see or fit correctly, the extended design is particularly suitable for vehicles with recessed wheel nuts and trucks fitted with front wheel trims.

Each indicator securely grips the six corners of the hexagonal wheel nut. Once fitted, the indicators are aligned into an easily recognisable pattern around the wheel. If a wheel nut begins to rotate or loosen, its indicator moves with the nut, breaking the established pattern and providing an immediate visual warning that the wheel assembly requires inspection.

The extended cap-style design also covers the exposed wheel stud thread, helping protect it from dirt, road grime and other contaminants. In addition to indicating wheel nut movement, the indicators can provide a visual indication of excessive wheel-end heat associated with overheating brakes.

How They Work:

The indicators are fitted securely over the wheel nuts and aligned into a consistent pattern. If a wheel nut begins to rotate, the indicator rotates with it and becomes visibly misaligned with the surrounding indicators. This provides a clear visual warning that the wheel nut and wheel assembly should be inspected.

The extended design provides additional clearance where wheel nuts are recessed or partially concealed by wheel trims while simultaneously covering the exposed stud thread.
