★ Top Answer
The Subaru Outback suggests tightening lug nuts to 90 ft-lbs of torque. It's crucial to use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening and avoid potential disasters. Over or under-tightening can have serious consequences such as loose wheels, stretched wheel studs, or distorted brake components. Rusty lug nuts can also break, causing unsafe driving conditions. If not fixed promptly, these issues can lead to vibrations while driving that may impact steering.
