rallysquirrel Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 If you don't torque them all down equally, you can warp your rotors. I warped rotors before I did this all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutru01 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 it's both possible that i've become extremely weak or the wrench is broken... Also, torque wrenches require servicing/re-calibration. You might wanna try that also. I bought a 10-150 lbs torque wrench with a 1/2 inch drive from Northern Tools. It was like $40 bucks. Works like a charm.

DAVES XTOUTBK Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 What causes the differences in torque recommendations for different vehicles? My Mustang specs say 95. I've had lugs come loose with that and have had to torque to 102...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
