Re: [Chrysler300] Lug nuts on 64 300K Left and right differences?

[Bruce Paul <b_paul_ncp@xxxx>]

It has been my experience that the "L" on the stud
does not get paid any attention to in the fast-paced
tire and brake shops of today. You have to make sure
that you are there to warn the mechanics or installers
several times. Over-torquing is now a greater
possibility than before because most of the modern
cars call for upwards of 85 ft-lbs. on the lug nuts
instead of the 65 ft-lbs. we are supposed to have. The
installers sometimes forget to readjust their
pneumatic torque wrenches.
