Torque sticks 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Frank on  Tue Jul 23 00:59 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Sorry but I don't agree with your opinion of torque sticks. Volvo sent them to all Volvo dealers as required special tools and we use them daily, have since the day Volvo sent us the first one (maybe 10 yrs ago now?) AND we have NEVER once had a problem with them. We've never warped one rotor or had a wheel loosen up and I use them on my cars too.
They're STILL a required Volvo special tool so if they're NG, why does Volvo send them to ALL Volvo dealerships and request that we use them for ALL of their cars? Before torque sticks came out, we use to hand torque all Volvo lugnuts but that's no longer necessary.
I've also been a tech for 24 yrs now (for a living) so I think I have a little experience with this stuff too.
Being that I work for a large successfull Volvo dealership and have for many years, I'd appreciate that you not say things to people here that contradicts what VCNA has us doing for a living as those in the business don't need to deal with customers who take some of this literally.
