impact guns (wrenches) on porsches

[rant on]
just doing some minor work (currently underway) new set of discs (rotors) and pads and some minor suspension overhaul has turned into a hell of hells and need to vent....

who ever did work on my car prior to my ownership had a mechanic that seems to have taken joy in using an impact wrench to tighten everything up and is now involving routine trips to by replacement bolts, nuts everything else.

why oh why do people not use a torque wrench and use the correct torque settings rather than wind things up with an impact wrench till the bolts distort.

and with the ally/steel mix, it makes things even more 'interesting'.


by the way, mine has main dealer service history. go figure !
