Front end sway
 
Hello everyone
I have a 2001 Boxster and I just put new rotors, pads and stainless steel lug nuts (lugs off eBay) on. The cars is pretty much stock. The lug nuts have a smaller tapered shoulder than stock but I don't see how that could be the problem. The lugs are torque. Any ideas where the sway maybe coming from?

Thanks for any help

Porsche has a very stern warning to only use Porsche lug bolts. I would first put back the old bolts. If that doesn't fix it, then go back over the brakes.

+1 Lose the stainless.

One of my Boxster buddies happens to be a mechanical engineer and ran me through the math on stock vs stainless lug bolts. The stock bolts were about 10x stronger. :eek:

Ok thank you both for the reply. I will put the old lug's back in and see.
