Re: Lug nuts and proper torque?
Always double check the torque. But I believe you or your dog
interrupted a thief, you'll probably find the nut next to where you
park.

Re: Lug nuts and proper torque?
Don't know your jeep but my understanding is the originals on my '96
Cherokee were composite (made in 2 parts) so an upgrade might be in order to
prevent the possibility breakage on torquing and the uttering of many 4
letter words. And thinking about it, I might just consider them a preventive
maintenance item and maybe replace them every 10 years whether they need it
or not :-)

Re: Lug nuts and proper torque?
Thanks everyone for the input. I have had them torqued at 100 lbs. I
really think it's too much of a coinidence to have it be a thief. I
mean, after six years in my nice neighborhood and work, never had a
problem. Like I said, it was closing time at NTB and they were all in
a hurry. Seems to add up. It ultimately is my fault though for not
checking. It just reinforces how leary I am of shops and trust.
thanks again,
Jeff
