Bought this brand of locknuts for my truck in the fall of 2018. At first I was frustrated because they were longer than my standard nuts. It didn't matter much as long as they provided some disorientation against "maybe thieves". Now the real reason I'm writing this review. A few weeks ago I noticed that they are starting to rust. Now I have to make an effort to remove this rust before they become unusable. No idea if the thread is rusted. The last thing I want is an aborted mother when I'm trying to take her off. Despite the adverse weather N.VA has seen, I don't think this should happen.
