The factory VW nut is soft mild steel torqued to a very high spec — well over 200 ft-lbs — so installation and removal both stress the threads heavily. On hard-driven, lowered, swing-axle-to-IRS-converted, or performance cars, threads can strip on installation or the nut can deform under repeated torque cycles. The CMI chromoly version is heat-treated chromoly steel — significantly stronger than the mild-steel factory unit — and nickel-plated against corrosion around the rear hub.
