Check. Oil level? Check. Lug bolts? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is why reliance on torque only is a bad thing. Torque, bolt turns, torque vs. angle and other things are very important to establish a proper clamp load. The lug should turn the appropriate number of turns, then torque vs angle curve should be very steep. Any bolt that mushes into torque indicates a suspicious joint.
