Re: Cragar SS uni-lug
Nope Cragars are made here. At least the last versions I bought (2004)Never had a problem with unilug. They seek there own level. Make sure the lug does not bottom out on the stud. I think unilug wheels have been around since 70's.

Re: Cragar SS uni-lug
Perhaps it's like the other chrome stuff....made in China then the chroming done in Mexico? . Hard to compete w/ cheap China labour and the Mexican toxic disposal system....a pipe going anywhere as long as it's pointing West?? ~ Pete

Re: Cragar SS uni-lug
We have them on our SS396 Chevelle for the day 2 look. I always use a torque wrench and double check periodically. Never a problem. Back in the early '70s, I had one come loose. Didn't use a torque wrench and didn't check. Lived and learned.

Re: Cragar SS uni-lug
that was common on them back in the day the lugs would bottom out on the stud before pulling the rim down tight, then it could walk on the studs giving the thump at 60/65...my very first set did that and the guys at Posi Traction set me straight.
