How often do you check that all of your bolts on your car are

never since Im not autistic

>>16299003
Daily. What kind of pleb do you take me for?

>torquing things to spec
Unless it's something delicate like rod bolts or main bearing caps, no. Tight enough is tight enough

On my race car:
before every race and after every race weekend.
On my daily:
every time I do maintenance I check the entire system.

I think I need to check my rear motor mount. Should have broken in by now, but it's still rattling when I idle some times.

>Asking /o/ about proper torque

I just overtorque my lugnuts like any other red blooded American and go about my day.

>Not tightening 1/2 turn more to make sure it doesn't fall off

>>16300875
>not tightening 1/2 turn more, getting a size bigger spanner and rounding off the edges so that nobody can't untighten them

Its like you hate your car

>>16299003
I just listen to the bolt and when it torques to me, tell me 'tight!' I then pull my socket from the bolt and move to the next.

>t. jelly busrider

>>16301644

Any torque that's called out in the Haynes manual I retorciendo to when doing routine maintenance. It's not like it takes you any longer using the torque wrench over a regular socket wrench.

Twice. Once when re-assembling and once more after 50 miles if its a moving part.
