Parts for your 2017 Nissan Serena-Wheel studs nuts

2017 Nissan Serena wheel studs and nuts

Based on the Nissan C27 Serena Factory Service Manual (Wheel & Tyre/WT section) and the Nissan FAST/EPC parts catalogue, the 2017 Nissan Serena is built with hub-mounted wheel studs and separate cone-seat wheel nuts. Typical fitment is a 5×114.3 PCD with M12×1.25 threaded studs, so wheel studs and nuts are absolutely relevant to this model.

On a 2017 Serena, the wheel studs and nuts do the heavy lifting of clamping the wheel securely to the hub. The studs are pressed into the hub flange, and the nuts provide the clamping force that keeps the wheel seated flat against the hub face through braking, cornering, potholes and long motorway drives. Done up correctly, they maintain even clamping so tyres wear evenly and the brake rotors aren’t stressed by a loose fit.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to inspect the studs and nuts whenever wheels are off for tyres, brakes or suspension work. Look for stretched or mushroomed stud threads, corrosion, cross-threading, and nuts with damaged seats. If a stud has been over-torqued or an impact gun has chewed the threads, replace it—pressed-in studs are serviceable and available as genuine or quality aftermarket items. Use high-tensile replacements that meet OEM spec. Wheel nuts should run on by hand first, if they bind, stop and chase the threads or replace the offending parts.

Torque matters. Follow the FSM torque spec for the Serena (commonly around the 100–110 N·m mark for many Nissans—check the exact figure for the C27). Use a calibrated torque wrench on clean, dry threads and a clean hub face, don’t lubricate the stud threads or nut seats unless a Nissan procedure specifically calls for it, as lubrication changes clamping force. After fitting wheels, re-check torque after 50–100 km, especially with new alloy wheels.

• Service tips owners rate: hand-start every nut, tighten in a star pattern, never mix seat types, replace any stud that’s bent, stripped or rusty at the thread root.
• Handy specs for most C27 Serenas: 5×114.3 PCD, M12×1.25 threads, 60-degree cone-seat nuts, hub centre 66.1 mm. Confirm against the VIN in Nissan FAST/EPC or the FSM.

These checks are quick, keep the family hauler safe, and help prevent wobbles, brake judder and expensive hub repairs down the track.

What’s the correct wheel nut torque for a 2017 Serena?
Refer to the C27 Serena Factory Service Manual for the exact figure. Many Nissans sit roughly in the 100–110 N·m range, but the FSM takes priority. Always torque on clean, dry threads and re-check after 50–100 km.

Can a single damaged wheel stud be replaced on a Serena?
Yes. The stud is pressed into the hub from the rear. With the brake hardware off, the hub can be rotated to slip the old stud out and draw a new one in squarely. If access is tight, the hub may need removal. Replace any damaged nuts at the same time.

What thread and seat type do the Serena’s wheel nuts use?
They’re typically M12×1.25 with a 60-degree cone seat on a 5×114.3 pattern. Don’t mix mag/flat-seat nuts with cone-seat wheels, and avoid oddball threads. If unsure, confirm by VIN in the Nissan FAST/EPC.
