Front Wheel Dragging

The click type just MUST be kept calibrated if you want to trust them.
You can purchase a tool to calibrate them yourself if you have a vice.

Would you have a link for this tool Larry?
Or, how about using a fish type scale route?

When I am doing High Torque values (over 1500 LBS/FT ) I prefer to use a HY-Torque hydraulic torque wrench. Calibrated Daily or whenever torque is changed . once sheared off several 5/16"" stainless set screws removing variable pitch blades that had bolts set to 3,500 LBS/FT because Tech Rep said there were none installed. When using a "clicker" wrench at home i verify against a beam type wrench for accuracy. make sure you never exceed the beam wrench's capacity.

We did some torque wrench testing to see how they stack up. See what we used and how they preformed in the April 2013 issue of Car Craft Magazine.
