Tightened my focus wheel nuts to 90nms as per manual and they came undone and started knocking. I was relieved to find it was not the drive shaft"The Holy Writ of Gloucester Rugby Club demands: first, that the forwards shall win the ball; second, that the forwards shall keep the ball; and third, the backs shall buy the beer." - Doug Ibbotson0

I got my wheel nut specs from E3 technical
It says 108 to 147nm to be precise
Did some googling and some manufacturers specify a minimum, optimum and a maximum torque as someone else said in this thread
I'm nor advocating overtightening, I'm fairly new to motoring and willing to learn, hence the question.
Also is it likely that experienced qualified mechanics would overtighten when they work with cars day in day out ?1 -
