Default Re: Wheel nut torque ?

I figure that I have to tighten all the lugnuts somehow. I have a click type torque wrench handy, so I always use it to tighten lugnuts...on all of my vehicles.

We had multiple people putting the wheels back on a pickup, one of the front wheels didn't get tightened and the hubcap was put back on. I drove the truck and ruined the front wheel. I just made it a habit to hear those 5 clicks on each wheel before I head down the road. Makes me sleep better at night...
