Re:Safety alert.. Ford Wheels Flying?

I've had that happen on 3 instances, where the wheels have felt loose. Pop the hub and yep 2 or three were loose on the front wheels. On all occasions it had happend a few hundred miles after a tire rotaion at a tire facility. Since then, I got wise and ask them to not use an inpact gun to fly the lugs back on. Then I watch and stop them before they do it anyways. Plus, I check to make sure they TQ them down to 170 ft/lb. Now, I have not had any problems with warping rotors or uneven wear. Since I have cryo'd rotors ;D now, I really do not want thoses to be damaged do to uneven torqueing, or under torqueing.
