The torque debate...

This.

We had mirror tags telling customers to come back after 1000km for a free re-torque when we did lift kits and tires/wheels. You'd be surprised how many nut n bolts need to be snugged up. The more amazing part is how many customers would not return for said re-torque.

I can tighten them then drive for 100 miles and they are a little loose. Usually re torquing them a second time and they are fine. Something with the wheels I was always told.

And yes I tighten them in a cross pattern how you are supposed too.

I agree, the last couple cars we've owned have been like this.
 
I once had a lady stop in front of my house (I was outside) and ask for help... the lady said the wheel was wobbling, I say OK, I'll take a look. Wobbly, all right. Four of the five studs were sheared off completely, the lug nuts were nowhere to be seen, and #5 was very loose (I could tighten it by hand).

Yeah....
