Too loose can allow the nuts to loosen and will fatigue the studs. Its all about proper preload of the studs to minimize stress reversals which unchecked reduce the fatigue life which equals broken studs! Nothing more embarassing than watching your tire / wheel pass you by on the expressway. PCL 98 SVT Contour 87 XR4Ti Merkur 69 BOSS 302

Anywho, how did you get your brakes looking sooo damn good? I need to do that ASAP! 99 Black SVT -3L Hybrid w/.5mm overbore, Spec clutch/flywheel, MSDS, BAT intake, K&N open, 17'Konig Tantrums, DMD, Opt.
