Default Re: Lug nut torque

I had two rear wheel lug nuts spin out from the swedging. Now I had a bear of a time just getting the wheel off. Now that all is fixed, i would never go over 50-55 # torque AND I use Never Seize. Just check that they are staying tight. Also with Ani-Seize never never torque to the dry torque specs. I have never had a stud loosen up with this proccedure.
