Exclamation A Word of Caution to C7 Owners...

I just went out in the garage to retorque my McGard Locking Lug Nuts that I put on last week.

Just out of curiousity, I decided to retorque all the lug nuts.

Good thing I did. The factory had only torqued them to 80 ft/lbs.

My advice to all C7 owners, go retorque yours or at least check them.

Yes, lug nuts are supposed to be torqued to 100 ft/lbs on the C7.

I've found this is also the standard for all Camaro's and all other GM vehicles as well.
