Double check wheel bolt torque after installing new disks
I just replaced the front disks on the 95 wagon. All went well. I torqued the front wheel bolts and then drove it. Everything fine. Later on in the day I noticed a strange sound from the right front. I thought maybe a wheel bearing went out (repacked and adjusted it while there). I started to take the wheel bolts off and to my horror they were all slightly loose.

I will always double-check them after heating up new disks.
