Noises problem
2003 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

On this car when i drive it the hup caps are hitting the wheel and making a really loud and annoying clacking sound on all 4s when i tighten down the plastic lugs over the real lugs they only tighten so far till they become loose again. I tried tightening them hand tight while i pushed in on it making it tight with the wheel and it worked till i hit the speed bump down the road. They are craked in where you put the wrench to tighten them.

If the trims are cracking, you will be better off replacing them.
