I stick to specified torques for all my Volvos. Here are the reasons: (1) I treat the threads to prevent corrosion. (2) If I must take one into a shop for safety inspections or other reasons that cause their mechanics to remove wheels, I insistently tell the shop manager that I want the lug nuts torqued to my specs and to NOT use an impact wrench to reattach the wheels. This means that any of the the wheels can be removed if the car is alongside the road. I am getting too old for jumping on breaker bars, my wife says it isn't lady like, and I've broken a few Craftsman sockets and lug wrenches.

For fun of Volvos,
Mike
