Keep tires in place

PS: The Preventive Maintenance Monthly, Dec, 2004

The little things can make a big difference when it comes to PM on your Stryker, drivers.

One such little thing is making sure the vehicle's wheel nuts are tight. Simple, sure, but important nonetheless.

One loose nut puts more strain on its neighbors. They loosen and, before you know it, you've got a runaway tire.

Look closely at the wheel stud nuts before operation. If you spot any rust or shiny areas that indicate a loose nut, report it. Your mechanic will retighten the nuts to 226-236 lb-ft.
