I bought a 1/2" drive Torque Wrench and Socket just to torque my wheels to 90 foot pounds !

Good Luck,
Sonny

normal is 80 ft lbs for steel. 100 ft lbs for aluminum. I always use 100 ft lbs on my mark.

i always go with 90 just to be safe. last time i had my tires changed i saw the guy in there just torquin away at the nuts and reminded him, a good mechanic is a safe mechanic (he didnt like me to much)

also to help the situation i had just gotten a free allighnment, tire install and 2 free tires :)
