Good to know. But usually that happens when the bolts are removed and then reinstalled. I don't think that's the case on my car.



I was actually thinking of replacing the bolts/studs with high quality steel replacements. I don't want to buy genuine Mercedes because who knows what the steel's quality is. Does anyone know of a brand and part number that I can just buy a replacement set of studs?



Also, the source of Mercedes recommends copper nuts. What would you say to that? Keep the factory nuts or replace with copper?
