It looks like they replaced the whole stem because the threads for the valve cap are crispy new looking. I am trying to find one on craigslist for cheap. They're just cheap steel stock wheels. Too bad I don't have the cash for some fancy new ones

Ok simple fix. Let the air out. Pop the bead. Use a highlift to pop the bead if no access to a tire machine. And then get creative with a bit of rtv. Push it in between the stem and wheel. The let it dry before filling the tire up.

It works. Till the tire tech punches you in the face. Slime and fix a flat.... that **** never washes off of clothes or skin without a harsh solvent that burns.

Yes. I've used it on my XJ to fix several slow leaks and one very fast leak caused by an errant bolt lol. Had it in all four seasons in different tires, ~40k KM driven, no issues whatsoever. I have no idea where the leaks are but after the first bottle I bought some more.

Sorry, just don't agree with " don't use it" just because it is hard to work with.

I drilled a hole in the center of the hockey puck and a hole in the center of the coil spring perch. Then secure the puck(s) down with a self tapping bolt. I grinded the top puck out a bit to make it countersunk, now the bolt head is flush with the top of the hockey puck.
