We were told 90# when we purchased ours. Bought a torque wrench to check them periodically but after a month on the Gulf Coast and 4,000 miles I never had one loosen and I checked several times during the trip. Am I saying you shouldn't check them?...absolutely not! Just want to reassure that it isn't a huge problem, at least in my case. ------------- Duanne & Ann 2011 177 R-Pod 2007 Toyota Tacoma |

Our Pod has stickers right above the wheel wells that say 100ft/lbs. Perhaps different on other models possibly?I've torqued ours before and after a long road trip, and at the beginning of the season. ------------- https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=cnBvZC5zcG90dGVyQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ - RPod Rallies https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1foQXGtrjf8aYly1uh0b-bHPfI&hl=en_US - RPod Owner Map |

After loosening the lug nuts for any reason, you do need to retorque them several times before they lock in place. Once that happens they usually stay there. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

When I had our Pod in storage I had them pack the bearings and check over the brakes. Its about a 50 mile trip home, and I checked when I got home, then again after 525 miles to the camp ground a week ago Monday. I will check again tomorrow when doing a couple of little things to get ready for the next trip. I have never had one loose. ------------- Keith-N-Dar Boris & Betty (Boston Terriers) 2011 R-Pod 177 2010 Ford F-150 |
