Weird. Any ideas as to why these would loosen up so quickly? Do
we need to babysit them for a few days afterwards and constantly check
the torque?
The procedure used was my normal one - when the wheel was still in
the air, I used a an air impact driver on a low setting (well below 100
lb-ft, probably would be 40-50 or so) just to snug up the lugs, then
lowered the vehicle until the tire was touching the ground; not with
the full weight, just enough so that the tire won't turn when using
the torque wrench, then used a clicker style torque wrench in the
standard "star" pattern to take them to 100 lb-ft. I go through the
pattern twice, and if any lugs move at all during the second round,
I'll run through them again.
