If you're really good you can actually feel the exact moment a bolt is torqued fully, no matter size grade or material. Basically get your ratchet on it and keep tightening rriiiiiiiight up to the point where suddenly it gets just a little tiny bit loosee. This is the threads cam locking into position, now walk away cause jobs a good one.

My International is like that too on the drivers side. I used my impact and thought they were just really, really tight. Then I noticed the "L" on the studs, luckily before I snapped them off.

Boat posted:I believe the theory was that due to the normal rotation of the wheels while driving forwards, reverse-thread on the driver's side would be less likely to self-loosen. Yep. It actually DOES happen with knock-off wheels, though. The wheel has basically one huge lug, and the "spinner" part is actually the nut. On one side the threads are reversed, and if you gently caress up the orientation, or some Jiffy Lube idiot rotates your tires for you...well, there's a bunch of pictures of old 1960s Vettes that had a tire come loose and it ripped the goddamn fender off. Edit: A lead hammer is the best kind of torque wrench, though.

Canadian Tire made this mistake on Slung Blade's 66 Coronet, broke several studs on both drivers side wheels during an inspection and then failed the car for broken studs. I wouldn't say that puts you in good company but at least you're not alone.

Oh Canadian Tire. They failed my friend for an ebrake because when they had the car in the air the rear wheels turned when they floored it.

I had these on my '65 Fury. They were stamped with a tiny "L" on the end of each lug. Shoulda recocgized that smooth-rear end drum. drat, but were those fuckers prone to fade. Nearly killed me once on a mountain road. I just made sure not to lose any of the nuts; in fact, I scored as many as I could break loose from my local salvage yard (along with fuses - I never bought fuses). I remember having to tell techs at PA state inspection facilities & tire-change places, & even then I had to watch 'em like a hawk because Seat Safety Switch posted:Canadian Tire made this mistake on Slung Blade's 66 Coronet, broke several studs on both drivers side wheels during an inspection I think they stopped that little engineering quirk by 1967.

Not the most graphic of failures, but somebody lifted a truck up with a forklift resulting in a driveshaft bent just enough to cause a violent vibration above 50kph pulled it and drove home in FWD, luckily didn't lead to a second picture.
