Stupid tire install people..

[wolf_walker]

I've only had the 300D since turkeyday, today was the first time I had ocasion to pull the wheels off. I had a slight feel of warped rotors, not bad at all, but not smooth either. I found out why, the happy go lucky tire installers who put the new tires on the front shortly before I got it seem to have done all the could to tighten the living heck out of the lug bolts..

After breaking them loose, and tighting them a sane amount, most of that shimmy is gone.


Side question, that short little tire iron in the spare compartment, is it that short to keep you from overtorquing the lugs or...?

I normaly use a torque wrench but I don't have it handy right now..

Anyway, beware the idiots, those torque sensitive extensions don't cut it either as far as I'm concerned.
