I am nearing the mileage point where I need to rotate my tires and need a few questions answered by my Titan Talk buddies.
I am very concerned about the lug nuts being properly torqued when the tires are rotated because I am wary of warped brake rotors. Should I tell the tire shop that I want the lug nuts to be torqued to a specific ft. lb. and trust that the guy does that. I feel suspicious that the guy will put an impact wrench on the lug nuts after I leave thinking that I will never know the difference. :crying: Should I trust him? Do tire shops charge extra for hand torquing of lug nuts? Should I not worry about it and check the torque value when I get home and make adjustments? Will it hurt to drive my Titan 25-30 miles home before I can check the torque? Do wheels torque the same when they are torqued on a rack verses when they are bearing the weight of the truck.
Can I easily rotate my tires at home without having to by an expensive floor jack? What is the easiest way to go about rotating my tires at home? What are you guys going to do when it is your time to rotate tires?
A lot of questions I know but I will greatly appreciate the responses.
