It is a common misconception that lug nuts need to be retorqued after every tire rotation. This is not the case! Lug nuts only need to be retorqued when they become loose, which can be caused by many factors including driving on uneven surfaces, hitting potholes, and even extreme weather conditions.
If you notice that your lug nuts are starting to come loose, it's important to retighten them as soon as possible. Loose lug nuts can cause your wheels to become detached from your vehicle while you're driving, which can obviously lead to serious accidents.
To properly retorque your lug nuts, you'll need a torque wrench. First, loosen the lug nuts slightly and then tighten them back down using the torque wrench until they're snug. Don't overtighten them - just make sure they're tight enough that they won't come loose again. That's all there is to it!
