    GQ7227, Thank you for your support!

    The torque specs should be listed on your invoice. The techs use a torque wrench set to what ever the vehicles call for when torquing them. If there is a problem I would recommend speaking to the local store Manager. Your 97 Tacoma shows as being 85

    thanks for the specs!
    not sure how I would know the torq when doing it by hand with the supplied wrench in the back of the cab :notsure:

    maybe the nuts are just very old and need replaced?
    i priced some new ones at ~$7 each online @ Camelback, my local dealer probably wants $15 each for them, i will check!
