Bitchin' Stitchin'
I knew there was something I forgot to mention! Good call.Another thing, if the lug nuts get smoked down with an impact you can warp rotors and drums.
It doesn't take much to warp those rotors & drums by over torquing the lugs.
I don't trust torque sticks.
...or the guy that says his gun is 'calibrated'.
I've had work done where the wheels had to be re-n-re'd by someone else.
I could feel it. I had a suspicion.
Impact gun.
Get home & check the torque on one wheel, just outa curiosity.
1 lug @ 60 lbs, 2 lugs @ 75 lbs, 1 @ 80, 1 @ 120!
Five chances and not one right.
What are the odds of one of 20 being right?
Didn't bother with that. It would just p!ss me off. Retorqued them all. 90lbs.
With a torque wrench, in increments. 60/75/90. Probably a bit OCD, but it does make a difference.
