Today I finally got around to rotating my tires for the first time and noticed some rather odd torque settings on the first wheel I removed. Some of the lug nuts spun off real easy and some were just adequate feeling. So I checked the torque on the other 3 wheels and found they ranged anywhere from 50 to 75 ft. lbs. A far cry from the 98 that Nissan calls for in the owners manual.
I would HIGHLY recommend everyone check your wheel torque because this could not only be considered dangerous but could also have a large impact on warped rotors. So far I have no rotor warpage problems with just over 7000 miles on my truck but usually improper wheel torque is the culprit for this problem.
Time to grab the torque wrenches all and let me know if anyone else finds low torque settings like I did.
