LCA torque

I worked in several tire stores and not one mechanic everused a torque wrench when putting on the wheels.

So you never worked in a good tire shop either, add that to the list.

Do you really think that the corporate tire shops, in this age of litigation, would trust the teenagers they employ with just randomly tightening lug nuts? One wheel comes off and kills somebody and they’re potentially out millions. Repeat that a thousand times a day, think about that. I mean WalMart bought oil vacuum machines at all their auto care centers so their techs never had to remove an oil pan drain plug. Just so their techs can’t forget a drain plug.

Impacts with torque setting bud. They’re a thing.
