[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 546607, member: 52972"] tracnblack, I agree. Using a torque wrench to install the lugnuts has been the proper technique for many years. The problem is that mechanics and shops who know better will use impact wrenches simply because they are faster, and like most things today, time is money! When I go to a tire shop to have the tires balanced or rotated, I always watch how they install the wheels to insure that they don't use an impact wrench. I caught a guy using an impact wrench on my Honda, and immediately told the manager, who made him loosen alla the lugnuts and retighten them to the proper specs with a torque wrench. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
