2006 Owners check your lug nuts

I've had my 2006 almost 2 weeks and was giving it a nice detailing this weekend.

Just out of the blue I thougth I would check the torque on the lug nuts and was I suprised. For the 2006 they are supposed to be torqued to 82 ft/lbs and mine were not even close. I bet I got 3/4 of a turn on quite a few lug nuts.

Am I ever glad I checked. The owners manual says 1000 miles after you change a tire you should check them, but mine only has 700 miles.

Better to be safe than sorry!

The recheck 1k miles after a rotation is very good advise. It will consist mostly of loostening up the lug nuts after the tire store over torque's them. Undertorque is bad, overtorque is too.
