I was afraid this would happen! I did not want to start a young war about this. Like I said I have been around mechanical things all my life. I have seen chains break that had met their limit. And I have seen things that were poorly designed hold up really well. I have even noticed on this site recently, many pictures of tractors and such that got broken in the middle. The thing for me is that people with a lot more education than me design things to last or they go out of business. I think that everyone would agree that if your wife and kids were coming back from Grama's and the right front wheel separated from the vehicle at 70 MPH it would be a bad thing. Notice I said your wife not just mine! My point is that if Chrysler engineers recommend that the lug nuts on the Jeep be torqued to 95 ft. lbs. there must be a reason for that. When I am building, modifying or retrofitting something, and I do that a lot! I use the best used bolts I have on hand. Knowing that no one's life will be at risk. I know that the wheel studs on the right side of my Jeep have been subjected to a torque of 40% more than recommended by the manufacturer. The young man that put the new tires on is a good hard working guy. Maybe I should have read my owners manual and requested the nuts be torqued to 95? Bottom line is that I am responsible for my own safety. I think I will ask to meet with the store manager and see what he says. After all I bet his wife drives a car that has the tires rotated in the stores shop also. ?
