Wheel Torque Specs?
#8
hahaha thats why i said 80-85 cause everybody has a different idea of what it should be...
but i doubt anything adverse would happen if your off a lbs*ft or two.... i wasn't even using a torque wrench on mine up until like 2-3 months ago anyways

Good thread, allot of people neglect proper wheel nut torque! And then they are also the ones who complain about warped rotors all the time.
The cause of the warp is having different torques on the wheel nuts. The rotor gets super hot when the brakes are applied. When the disc cools and you have inconsistent tension on the lug points around the disc, it will bend or warp. And of course this is why you should always use a torque wrench -- if you make sure the wheel nuts are at the same torque, you'll avoid the shakes.
