WARNING: This is super important I try to always ask first when getting tires put on do you use Tourque sticks? If anyone answers yes to this question walk out the door and don't look back.
I've seen it a hundred times and happened to me once by mistake. those sticks DO NOT stop at the intended tourque. I believe places use these for more business They save almost 2 seconds in time and are very dangerous to your vehicle.
1. warped brakes by overtightening
2. snapped studs could cost you your life traveling at high speeds.
3. wheel bearings
4. warped and or stripping wheels
90$ is actually quite cheap last time i bought studs and nuts was over 120$ for the parts alone if and when replacing studs always use new nuts. The threads are stretched and are near failure.
A quick story some friends of the family were traveling a long distance they made it to the destination town no more then a minute or 2 after hopping of the interstate they watch their tire go right past them and roll into a service station. TALK ABOUT LUCKY. what if this happened on the highway? Tire places will never ever be liable but I believe if you can prove they use those tourque sticks you have a legitamate case on your hands.
NEVER USE AN IMPACT GUN for tightening You can use it to take up the slack never to tighten.
ALWAYS use a Tourque wrench.
NEVER use a lubricant of any kind on a stud or nut.
SEMI trucks are a different type that need high tourque and with a stud thats almost an inch in diameter they are impossible to break with any pnuematic tool. (not that it can't be done hehe)
