Hi micra-man,
You could follow Jammin's advice.... however, another alternative would be to put a bead of flexible silicon sealant on the inside of the hubcap where is seems to be rattling... Let it dry then replace back on the wheel. Worked for me.... |

Also, I noticed that the spring wires behind them are adjustable. Inside the spring, you can pull out more or less of the wire to make them fit tighter etc. I did that recently and it seemed to work well. I think eventually the wire loops seem to close up after a fair while and they need tightening/enlarging again..

Thanks for the suggestions folks.
I have taken them off, but would like to put them back on and stop them rattling. I'll try the suggestions above. |
