Recommendations for replacement lug nuts.

[ORRadtech]

Got a couple more questions:
- How do you know that the newest ones are torquing the lugs to the setting on the wrench?
- What certification standard did you use to calibrate your older ones?
- Is the calibration still valid?
- What is the tolerance you checked them to?
- Have you/are you going to perform a gage R&R on them?
- How often (time/miles) do you check the lug nuts on your vehicles?

What point exactly are you trying to make?
If you're referring to my hypothetical question and trying to say anyone can be sued for anything, you're probably right. We live in a very litigation happy, greedy society fueled by unending ambulance chaser ads every where you turn.
The point of my question was some people know what the manufacturer specifies and knowingly and intentionally under torques by 30 percent.
So, sure, someone could say "you haven't had your tools calibrated and verified by xyz company to zxy standards and sue me.
But they'll never be able to say I KNOWINGLY left them unsafe.

Dude, just torque the lug nuts already....Jeez-O-Peet....

Very basic mechanical engineering principals dictate torque specs, based on exactly what @SheepDog said. Here it is, a nice Friday, I figured I'd sit down to a calm and informative discussion about lug nuts, having already been disappointed by the ridiculous garbage in the thread about 50W oil and, BAM!!!!

The. Wheel. Material. Has. Nothing. To. Do. With. Torque. Specs.

So you say...

You tell him no need to be a dick, while being a dick yourself. You are something else.

Do you know anything about speaking to people politely?

Edit: I read the rest of the thread and no you do not.

Waaaa
