That's only for the lawyers.![]()
ehh, not really.
When I take my truck to the dealer and they pull a wheel for state inspection, all lug nuts are torqued back on with a torque stick.
You'll notice many trash trucks and municipal trucks have special precautions taken to make sure lug nuts are correctly installed & torqued.
One of the biggest causes of highway accidents are truck & trailer tires coming off trucks and rolling into the front of oncoming cars.
I lost a truck tire about 25 years ago that crashed through a fence and killed some livestock on a farm. I have also read many an article of lost tire/wheels killing drivers in oncoming traffic.
It's serious business.
