Hey. 08 Prius 159 foot pound torque spec. After replacing Hub Car car was making click pop noise while stopping. I was told to add more torque so I added 10 ft lb of torque every test drive until the sound stop. Was that a good or bad solution?
I wouldn't go over factory specs. However they allow a 2-3 ft lbs either direction, to much torque will prematurely wear the hub bearing. I would get the suspension checked out. Sound like ball joint issue.
You could've bought a bad hub bearing assembly! I had that happen to me before and the popping noise couldn't really be heard until I started slowing down! Swapped it out under warranty and viola, problem solved!
Nice video 🦕
Thanks 😋

do you think its better to torque in the air or on the ground?
Ground is better, but most car rims cover the axle nut. Either way will work
