2007 VUE New Tires

I had to be very careful where I took my '99 SW2 for tire replacement because some tire dealers used too much torque on the wheel nuts and could damage the brake disks.

Do the '07 VUEs have the same problem?

Thanks in advance, Howard

Yes - be careful even at the dealers. I have two dealers I go to - one I have never had issues with the other the first and ony time time I had my tires rotated there the front rotors warped. The other dealer trued them under warranty.

this could be a problem for any vehicle.

The pertinent question---although you may not get a straight answer---is "Do you use a torque wrench, or do you feel that you simply know from experience how torqued is "enough"?"

Every time I've heard of mechanics being randomly tested on "I just know", regardless of their level of experience, they've actually overtorqued pretty universally.
