Parts for your 2014 Mitsubishi Asx-Wheel studs nuts

2014 Mitsubishi ASX wheel studs and nuts

Based on technical references, wheel studs and nuts are absolutely relevant to the 2014 Mitsubishi ASX. The Mitsubishi Motors workshop manual for ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport (2010–2015) specifies wheel nut tightening procedures and torque, and the Mitsubishi ASA Electronic Parts Catalogue lists press-in wheel studs with matching tapered wheel nuts for this model year. That confirms the ASX uses a stud-and-nut arrangement (not wheel bolts).

On the 2014 ASX, the wheel studs and nuts do the critical job of clamping the wheel firmly to the hub so the brake rotor, hub and wheel all rotate as one. The tapered-seat nuts centre the alloy or steel wheel on the hub face, controlling vibration and keeping the tyre tracking straight. Under acceleration, braking and cornering, that clamping force is what carries the load—so clean threads and correct torque are essential.

Most ASX variants use five M12 x 1.5 studs with 60-degree conical-seat nuts. The factory torque for the wheel nuts is typically around 98 Nm, check the owner’s manual or service data for your exact spec. Always tighten in a star pattern and use a calibrated torque wrench. If a rattle gun is used for wheel changes, it’s best to finish by hand to the correct torque.

Good servicing habits help these parts last:

• Keep threads dry and clean—no oil or grease on stud threads or nut seats.
• Lightly clean rust or debris from studs and the wheel’s seating cones, a nylon brush is ideal.
• Apply a very thin smear of anti-seize to the hub centre spigot only (not the studs) to prevent a stuck wheel.
• Re-torque after 50–100 km any time a wheel has been off.

Replace any stud with damaged, stretched or cross-threaded threads, or if a nut won’t torque smoothly. Nuts with chewed or flaking cones, swollen caps, or visible cracks should also go in the bin. Press-in stud replacement typically involves drawing the new stud fully home against the hub flange, ensure full seating and that the wheel turns freely with no contact. Stick with the correct conical-seat nuts for ASX factory wheels, using mag/shank nuts or the wrong taper can cause loss of clamping force and wobble. When in doubt, match to the VIN or wheel manufacturer’s specs.

Popular question: What size and thread are the wheel studs and nuts on a 2014 ASX?

Most 2014 Mitsubishi ASX models use M12 x 1.5 studs with 60-degree conical-seat wheel nuts. Variations can exist with aftermarket wheels, so it’s smart to verify against the vehicle’s parts data or the wheel maker’s requirements.

Popular question: What’s the correct torque for the wheel nuts?

The factory spec is typically around 98 Nm for the ASX. Tighten in a star pattern on a cool hub and wheel, and re-check after 50–100 km if the wheel has been off. Always confirm the exact figure in the owner’s manual or service information.

Popular question: When should wheel studs or nuts be replaced?

Replace studs that show stripped, stretched or corroded threads, or if a nut won’t torque smoothly. Swap out any nuts with damaged tapers, swollen caps, or visible cracking. If a wheel has been run loose, inspect all studs and nuts carefully—heat and fretting can weaken them.
