Because of the analogy to "lug nuts," I suppose.
My Vanagon had bolts in front and nuts in back! Better not lose any,
since you can't do the "steal one each from the other three wheels" trick.
Just to confuse you further, they aren't really "bolts," they're "hex
head cap screws." A bolt always has a nut on the other end. If it goes
into a threaded hole, it's a screw. This is helpful to know if you ever
need to get one from a company that specializes in fasteners.
