Installation Best Practices
Proper torque is crucial, typically 80-100 ft-lbs depending on your vehicle; consult your manual. Use a thread locker on the first few threads for vibration resistance, and re-torque after 50-100 miles. Veritek's design minimizes galling, but clean hubs and wheels beforehand for optimal seating.
