[QUOTE="oscar, post: 159291, member: 2757"] deffinately sounds like they have been over tightened. being high tensile bolts, they will stretch and once stretched...they will now be useless. the thing to remember is that the torque value that renault gives in it's technical data is valid only to the factory wheels supplied with the car. the basic reason for that is down to the materials in the aluminium alloys which vary greatly over different wheels matched to the tensile strength of the particular bolts they use. the example being a set of 4x100 rotas have a torque value of 115 but the renault oems are 105 or 110 or something like that for the same car. hope that makes some sense lol?
