Proper torque

[5.4MarkVIII]

I put winter rims on my father in laws SUV for him. The nuts on the wheels were so tight I had the peek the compressor out at 130psI to get the impact to crack them loose. It's was crazy. Told him to give the chev dealer shit cuz they had cracked the chrome casing on all the nuts. Cars only 2 years old.

Noob question...torque should be ...100lbs ?

Check manual/oem recommendation. Fun fact, Porsche centre lug torque spec on 997 GT3 is 444ft/lbs.

I go to 90 ft.lbs for my non posrche vehicles. 100 ft.lbs always gives me trouble come following tire change.

Also some studs start to feel hinky / spongy over 90 ish.
