Wheel Stud / Lug Nut: Service Precautions
WARNING:^ Retighten to proper TORQUE specification at 160 km (100 miles) and also at 800 km (500 miles) of new tire operation. Retighten to proper TORQUE specifications at 800 km (500 miles) after any wheel change or any other time the lug nuts have been loosened. Improperly tightened lug nuts could allow the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, causing LOSS OF CONTROL.
^ Replace wheels if they are BENT, CRACKED, LEAKING air or if the lug nuts often become LOOSE. DO NOT use bent wheels that have been straightened and do NOT use inner tubes in leaking wheels. Do not replace wheels with USED wheels. Wheels that have been straightened or are leaking air or are USED, may have structural damage that could fail without warning. Check for damage that could affect the runout of the wheels. Wobble or shimmy will eventually DAMAGE the bearings.
