Because I've gone way past the torque specs and it won't tighten correctly. The front bolt is just fine. There's been some work on this truck that I didn't do, so wouldn't put it past a mechanic tightening too much. I'm a torque spec guy, and I know many people are tighten-it-down types.

Engine is cooling. Hope I can get to it before work.
