rotating tires on Forester

I routinely rotate my tires every other oil change. Since I do this myself, I know they are getting put back on at the correct torque settings. Little things like this take little time, do not cost much, and in the long run save money and time.

'03 Baja Virginia, USA

just to add a word of warning: make sure the wheel nuts are properly torqued!!!

the last two times i've had the wheels off my car ('02 legacy wagon) the nuts weren't torqued: the first time i almost lost a wheel on a long highway trip (both right side wheels were making enough noise that we thought it was bad wheel bearing - all 10 nuts on that side were "finger-tight"!!!) and the next time i had the car in for service (same dealer), i lost a lug nut within a couple of days.

needless to say, i'm not giving THAT dealer any more business, and i've invested in my very own torque wrench!

....... tom kle> Is it necessary to rotate the tires on my 04 Forester? I have heard

no, actually, 1/4" is only about 0.3% of 82".

a calculator is only as good as the person using it.
