BY in getting new rubber and fitted says torque is 96! Jeez that is the same as a fiat panda ffs, can't be right can it?

From memory (it is written on my torque) 77ibft. None of this metric stuff!BY in getting new rubber and fitted says torque is 96! Jeez that is the same as a fiat panda ffs, can't be right can it?
IIRC handbook says 98Nm. Fitters always express surprise at that and lack of locking wheel nuts.BY in getting new rubber and fitted says torque is 96! Jeez that is the same as a fiat panda ffs, can't be right can it?
Plus an after hot torque check too. Always do mine a second time after a run.IIRC handbook says 98Nm. Fitters always express surprise at that and lack of locking wheel nuts.
and there is the reason for torquing all fasteners. Most don't understand that the torque produces preload that exceeds the dynamic load, but is less than the yield strength of the fastener. By having a static load greater than the dynamic, the fastener never sees a varying load, and doesn't fatigue.preload.
