FredNewell Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Well, I'm about to torque the rear dual wheel nuts. I was going to ask what torque since the original 85# sticker seems to be for the original factory arrangement. I'm going ahead with 150# plus a little dry without lube.

I'm guessing none, so I'm not going to think about it anymore. My Lugnuts were over torqued Broke 3lugs off going over the George Washington Bridge in New York City on the Duelleys and the wheels fell off ! So Yes It HAPPEN !!!!!!!

fred heath Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 6 lug or foolie axle? 3 lugs attached on a ff axle should keep it roadworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoDoug Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Tigger, that sounds like classic UNDERtorqued. Over torque would just break one, and the others are undisturbed. No reason any others would react and even with several missing a wheel will remain securely on and drivable. The tipoff is the unbroken studs - indicating they loosened and came off. The broken studs are simply what happens when an unsecured wheel slams around as it departs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
