Forgot to put dust caps back on - issue?

[Princey]

Would it effect balance to any degree?

No, not if all four were removed. Unsprung weight on the other hand...

All this concern over not having dust caps till Sunday?

I thought I was the only one who couldn't understand why???

No, there's two of you lol.

NVP surely screwing comes as second nature to your sister (dust caps I mean); just tell her to buy some and stick them on herself.

Some thief stole 2 of mine not long after I got the car, both the left hand side. It took me a week may be before I noticed, another week before i went and bought some replacements.

Car still here, they didn't look dirty, its not like I go off road is it.

I bet you say that to all the girls

or your sister

So everyone elses experience will be the same as yours?

You're really missing the point Ray.

I'm not aware if some types are designed to do this but most cars have plastic dustcaps which merely keep out foreign objects. They won't seal 30psi if there's a leak.

Yeah they do I have seen in happen my self.

well it would mean youd have four unbalanced wheels lol

 

[Haze]

i live in Cov so mine get stolen by Chavs all the time

Gf's 106 has not had any caps on for probably 6 months? Tyres still hold air despite the pressure being checked/inflated on a regular basis.

Complete non-issue imo. Just put them back on when you see her. Wouldnt bother faffing about with water and toothbrushes!

No, I am saying if you drive like 99.999% of the public in normal roads there is no cause for concern.

*shakes head*

Because 99.999% of people don't encounter dirt, puddles or any other crap on the roads!

Of course they do, but do you really think in the next 4 days her tyres will blow up without the dust caps?

Wow physics fail there. In theory all 4 wheels will be out of balance and yes your unsprung weight would be less, which is for the better. But the weight we are talking about is negligible so it effectively hasn't unbalanced it.

I think we need pics.

I read his comment as tongue-in-cheek geek.
