I'm sorry, I was under the impression the thread was about "Correct torque setting".
So, if I torque my rear axle to 95 ft-lbs (95-105 recommended) with my recently calibrated wrench, and the following day I check it per the FSM, and it doesn't rotate at the minimum setting (95 ft-lbs), the torque has been maintained. What's the point of torqueing to 100 ft-lbs (midway), other than compensating for the inaccuracy of an inexpensive wrench, when 95 ft-lbs is within spec?
