Wheel Nut Over Torque ALL all

posted by  someone claiming to be wbain on  Fri Dec 7 07:23 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Last month I took my car in for tires and an alignment. I asked that they be properly torqued, 63 ft-lbs. I was assured they would be as the 'torque stick' was used. I left with my wife and kids and we went to get something to eat. Recently, the car began to experience a shaking steering wheel upon applying the brakes. I could only think, overtorqued! I chnaged my oil the other night and sure enough, severly overtorqued. I was able to stand on my Sears breaker bar, 1/2" with an impact wrench socket, and not budge them. Boy am I pissed. I'm not going back to that place again, a nationally famous tire manufacturer in Gainesville Va, for fear they might screw it up even more. Now I might have to replace all the studs and nuts.

Be aware, always check their work. I am reminded of chefs who spit on returned food.
