    No that's just what I do my lugs to, always did them to that when I worked at Mercedes.

    Yeah, everyone was freakin out when I set the torque wrench that high at the mod day. LOL

    Werd, you still got my number? Hopefully we get the house I want to rent in central Tempe with garage so you wont have to travel to far to do it.

    Mercedes lugs never snapped and two over 7 years with 172k on the clicker is nothing for me to be concerned about. Esp when the snapped as I was backing them off.:cool:

    Fatigued from to much stretching due to over torqued. Mercedes very likely used higher strength lug nuts. Due to higher safety standards.

    Indeed they did fatigue, at a rate of 10% over 10 years come to think of it since my truck did release in 2004.
