Ford Bronco beadlock wheel ring bolts corrosion

[SPone]

Does anyone else have this issue with beadlock wheels ring bolts ?

Not yet (10k miles/14 month’s ownership). So Cal environment has been very forgiving to the exterior. Do you drive on salt treated roadways?

 

[SPone]

New York so yes, I get what your saying but I had other beadlock capable wheels rings and bolts never corroded ..I only have 1400 miles

That mileage doesn't seem nearly enough to generate that corrosion. Something does not add up here. What are those bolts made of anyway? Could it be the metal they are using? Frankly, I am at a loss on the cause of the problem.

The dealer agreed to change all 240 bolts incuding spare which are corroded as well..

 

[SPone]

120 bolts I meant

When you took delivery, did you happen to notice their condition?

 

[SPone]

They were all good..

Cool, let me know. It will save me a trip to dealer if new bolts will issue same results

No evidence is corrosion at all here.

Welcome to BroncoRaptor.com! My Raptor was in winter storage, however my wife's Sasquatch Bronco wheels have the same bolts, 8k miles including some winter road salt days and no corrosion yet.

That's my recommendation.

i am in NYC too, but I just pickup the 2024 last month. so no salt yet. Anyway, any chance is from the car wash? some car wash chemicals can cause corrosion.

I never took it to car wash but dealer might have before I took the delivery if car..

That still doesn't check out. That level of corrosion is huge.
