wow. umm ill check mine tonight. maybe thats that noise i hear once in a while.

 

Checked my rear when I was under it recently and all of mine were tight. I have more piece of mind now so I wouldn't call it time wasted.

 

You are obsessed.

 

thx for the info !!!!

 

checked mine yest and 3 of them were loose.

Thanks for this Rob

 

Sorry for the off topic post, but are your highbeam reflectors tinted yellow in your avatar? Would you mind sharing how you did that. Pm me if you'd like.

Also, I'll be sure to check my subframe bolts next time I'm under the car. Thanks for the heads up

 

Thanks!

 

good catch. i checked mine, the rears were loose as well.

@sirhood no those are just yellow bulbs.

 

Okay I set my torque wrench to 84 ft/lbs and tried it on the bolts. It just seems to keep turning, the bolt is really tight but my torque wrench doesn't "click". I stopped coz I'm afraid the bolt might snap. The other bolts the wrench clicked but the bolts that require 83.5 ft /lbs my torque doesn't seem to click.

 

I would try a different wrench or make sure yours is calibrated. I recently calibrated my torque wrenches using a somewhat ghetto yet effective method. Basically I put the wrench on a rear lug nut, and hung a 53 lb weight off it while set to 53 lbs. Then measure where the weight was when it clicks (and repeat several times). One of mine was off by 15%.

Lets say you do this and your have to put the weight at 14" away from the center of the wrench head. Your correction factor is 14/12 = 1.16 So if you want 84lbs, set it to 84 / 1.16 = 72.4 lbs
