A bolt that has been over-torqued will be prone to cracking, shearing, loosening, or breaking off which can result in damage to the wheel and other related components. The bolt now has a much lower tensile/yield strength and allows the bolt to flex, generate heat and fatigue. Note that the bolt has not only stretched, but stretched to the point of changing the properties and yield strength of the bolt.

The third example is a typical of an over-torqued bolt.

There is a slight amount of stretch, but not enough to change metal/alloy properties of the bolt and it returns back to it’s original shape and is ready for for retorquing.

The second example is a bolt that is torqued to specification.

The first example is a bolt that is loose, with no torque applied - unstretched.

The below are examples of bolts in the various stages of torque: The properties of the bolt has a slight spring effect when loosened. It’s akin to mechanically securing the nut to the bolt – except that you can remove and re-tighten it repeatedly, as needed., yet, most bolt grades used for this purpose will retain its original size and properties (un-stretched) when properly torqued to specifications. Proper torque, which stretches the bolt, causes the threads of the stud/bolt to tightly mate and secure to the matching nut or threaded hole (within the axle or wheel hub) without working themselves loose. Lug studs and nuts as well as lug bolts are designed with a specific grade of hardware with a certain amount of “stretch.” Stretch? You might ask – Yes.

And unfortunately, we have seen this time-and-again from professional technicians as well as the do-it-yourselfers – all for one simple reason – they failed to properly torque the lug nuts or bolts on their vehicles. We’ve seen wheels come off, brakes damaged, broken and/or stripped lug nuts, bolts and studs. Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand the ramifications of improperly torqued lug nut and lug bolts.
