[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16040647, member: 83412"] The OEM's [i]do not[/i] cut corners with respect to strength when it comes to junctures such as a wheel/hub interface. The increase to an M14 stud over the previous 1/2" units brought with it an increased torque figure to impart the proper amount of stretch. That said, all of them understand there will be failures at a calculated sampling number. There is always the potential for manufacturing inconsistencies as well. In order to minimize or mitigate the opportunity for failure you should always take heed in the manufacturer's specifications, ensure that the threads on both the nut and stud are clean and damage free, and torque by hand. Avoid using an impact gun/socket here. [/QUOTE]
