ratcheting box ends rule. I am in

Two thumbs up,bud. Been waiting in suspense, I have grown to enjoy the subtle humor and waiting for the updates. Great thread.

Thank you, I think that will be on the list with the bushings and shocks. Give me a reason to build the press I have been wanting to build.

It was just a concern with a used vehicle that I bought with no maintenance data. I guess I am just overly worried. Yes I have already done 3/4 of the wheel bearings and hubs with the last one sitting on the shelf in my shed. Bushings and shocks are next. Thanks again everyone.

Yes they have "held" so far just worried. I keep checking just to be sure. I am the only one responsible for my family safety. Thanks again everyone.

I guess I was just concerned with me using proper torque and the coming loose because the studs are bad.

These are from a Ford Exploder I bought used.

Thats what I don't know, should I mic the studs and see if there is a thin spot and if not are they okay?

Thank you for the reply. Does this mean I need to replace the studs on all my tires?

This may be in the wrong section, sorry I don't know how to delete my thread.

I have a question for the great people of this forum. If a lug nut is over torqued by a mechanic, is the stud then stretched and have to be replaced? Or will just going back to proper specs work just fine?

Thanks for starting this thread Shopnut, and thanks to the crew here for a first rate web site. Sincere gratitude for all the help this site has provided me. Again thanks from my Igloo in Alaska, Darik

I think it's the one he uses to polish his bling.
