I had new tires installed by a Discount Tire dealer a few years back on my GMC. On the way home I felt a vibration on the front and pulled over and found the right front tire loose and wobbling. I tighten the nuts and
I turned around and went back to the dealer. They found that none of the wheels had been torqued. So since then I have always checked the torque of lug nuts myself after getting work done on tires. Many times I have found then only torqued to 60 or 80 ft lbs. in spite of my instructions to torque to 140 ft-lbs. Incompetence is rampant!

All the lug nuts were about 20% unscrewed. The LP fill problem, and this can get people killed. Bob Dunahugh
