Retorquing wheels

The presence of dirt, sand, rust, or grit between surfaces such as the threads of the nut or between a nut and the wheel can also create &#;false torques&#; during the initial fitting, where the force applied overcomes the friction but doesn&#;t translate into clamping force.

For these reasons, many car garages and tire dealers will invite drivers to come back the next working day to have their wheels retorqued. It&#;s a quick procedure, usually offered free of charge, which involves inspecting each lug nut on the wheel to check if they are too tight or too loose.

If the lug nuts are too tight, they can cause severe problems such as stripping the fastener threads or stretching the wheel studs. They could also warp the brake drums, rotors, or hubs. With loose nuts, meanwhile, there&#;s a small risk that the wheel could come off while you&#;re on the road. The chances of this ever happening are very low &#; but if it did happen, your safety and that of other road users would be at risk.
