Locking Lugs 2024 Ford Maverick XLT

[BERNIE GDOWSKI]

I am having issues finding the correct locking wheel lugs. Ford Genuine GR3Z-1A043-A Wheel Lock, 1 Pack

1: The locking lug (on the left) is much taller. Does that extra height make it easier to steal? (Pair of vise-grips)
2: Notice that the seating taper differs from the OE lug on the right.
3: With the extra size, does that comprise the wheel balance? (Getting steering wheel shake at 45 to 55MPH.)

Does this look correct to you?
Any product recommendations?

The chrome locking lug nuts in your photo are narrow for aftermarket wheels. I got these locking lug nuts that fit the ford OEM wheels,

Gorilla Automotive 96641BDX Black... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YJJ2BY6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And they are too fat for my aftermarket wheels. So now I need narrow black lug nuts and locking nuts for my new summer wheels. No matter what you do, 14mmx1.5.

If have locking nuts, need to watch carefully when they being removed or installed. Or advise tech of them. Some techs use the key with impact wrench. That beats them up, and cannot use again. Proper way is to use pry bar to “break/free” them, then use impact to rapidly remove the lug nut. Likewise, use impact to snug it up tight, then use torque wrench to tighten.

Take them off and put them on before and after the tech.....

You have the wrong locks, it's important to ha e the same larger taper or ot will destroy your wheel. I bought correct ones thru ford
