★ Top Answer
The Toyota Camry requires a torque of 76 ft-lbs when tightening the lug nuts, and using a torque wrench is essential for this task. It is advised against using an impact gun to avoid over-tightening the lug nuts, which can lead to various damages such as stripped threads, brake rotor distortion, wheel damage, or lug stud shearing. On the other hand, under-tightened lug nuts can cause them to come loose, resulting in severe consequences. While lug nuts are typically made of rust-resistant materials, they can still develop rust over time due to wear or neglect of protective coatings. Although resilient, lug nuts can endure substantial rust-removal methods while securely holding the car's wheels in place.

Utilize the implant gun until the nut reaches a point where it stops turning. Then, tighten it using a 4-foot breaker bar until you hear a subtle popping sound - then you're finished!
