Breaking Lugs
Anybody else having this problem? I've had two lugs break on me, and there are a couple more that feel like they might be close. I've only had the truck for about a month (its a 2002 by the way). I'm just curious if the lugs are weak for some reason, of if I'm doing something wrong (which is possible).

Re: Breaking Lugs
The lugs get weak from fast-repair places using air guns on them and stretching them. If you only torque them, they will never break.

Its kinda weird, they all feel real good on the driver's side, but there are a couple that feel like they're close to breaking on the passenger's side. |

Re: Breaking Lugs
Have you ever let anyone at them with an air-gun, or have you tightened them without a torque wrench? All it takes is once.
