Eric-

yes they need checked.. Or stop by the auto-parts store & get a small tube of Blue Loc-Tite. Bout $5. retail.

Remove one bolt, shake the Loc-Tite, then add a couple drops on the bolt threads & re-install..Tighten Really Good. & repeat 3 more times..

Sounds like no torque wrench there, but they gotta be tight..

Mine have never come loose in well over 1000 miles (but I do check 'em)...And they are Loc-Tited & Torqued to 45 ft lbs..

(Sorry, I don't know this...)

What is a torque wrench? Is this one that is from a air compressor? My dad has one of those, but I have no clue how to use it.... I just used a 15mm socket wrench. That's all the directions said I thought.

It is a wrench that has different torque settings so you do not over/under tighten bolts that have a specific torque specification.

Nope..we don't have anything like that....

I will take the socket wrench with me to Florida, so I can check it periodically...

Tim- Cool

After you rack a few miles testing, be great to hear your input about the difference.. If you choose to..
