Rolling till the wheels fall off

Last Updated 4/9/2008 10:54:03 PM

So.... tip when you get new wheels/tires/lugnuts, triple check the darn torque on the lug nuts. I was driving to class tonight and starting getting some horrible feedback from the car. I pulled over to the side of the highway and started checking lug nuts, at least one loose on each wheel, and all I had was my hands to tighten things down. I did my best and headed home to tighten things up before continuing on to school.

Lesson learned yet again...

Chris, another thing you might want to do torque down the eccentric bolts on the lower control arms (especially after an alignment) to 140 ft-lbs. The rears are notorious for coming loose
