Re-Tighten Lug Nuts?

[cas951]

Based on my experience with my cars they always over tighten the lug nuts. I've only seen one shop that actually used a torque wrench. Once they tightened so much that when I tried to loosed the one with a lock I broke the lock socket. This is when I stopped using the locking lug nuts. I've always re-torque my lug nuts since then.

Checking the torque also prevents your rotors from warping.

Another good tip: use a (steel)brush to remove any corrosion/oxidation that has built up(if any) on the inside face of your wheel that sits against the hub. If you're specially somewhere that experiences heavy snow during winter. That corrosion/oxidation will prevent you from properly torqueing your wheels on.

I'm pretty sure Porsche is suggesting an anti-seize and not an oil/grease on the lug bolts. Something similar to the anti-seize that's applied on spark plugs..
