Yeah i think I’ll do regular re torquing for the rest of my life. This could have been the end of that.
I’ll keep my torque wrench and 13/16 sockets in my truck from now on. Maybe I’ll torque them every time i hop in the truck. It’s a 1 minute affair and i use the truck a few times a month.
I’ve looked up some bulge shaped lug nuts. There are a few options. I also measured my wheel bolt cavities size and shape. They’re certainly a little weird. There is no way some lug nut is going to be shaped exactly like their shape, but the bulge design certainly adds a lot more surface area contact. Unless I’m missing some information, like maybe lug nuts were designed to go with these exact wheels. I see these wheels all over the place so i wonder if that’s the case.
I’m going to get some new rotors and pads from rock auto. I figure it’s time to start fresh with safety at this spot, and plus my one rotor is in rough shape now. I had already done my brakes last year but I’ll just get a kit with the pads too. Thinking one of these two below. Anybody have any opinion on either? Seems they are both decently reputable.
