If can’t then make dealership check everything just say you feel the car isn’t safe and god help them if you get it back and something comes loose after they have checked the car over. They will then check it all. I worked for caddy for years and when heard that they normally jumped as it spelled lawsuit after that. Sometimes you have to push the delalership to do enough. We are finding out the factory isn’t catching half the stuff they should. That’s what you get when don’t want to pay good wages for good mechanics.
Yea I have a beam style torque wrench. I went through when I changed out the wheels and torqued them to 140 ft lb. I'm wondering if I missed torquing one fully at some point now...

I'm still going to drag it back to the dealership and make a list of things I'd like them to check. AFTER I go and re-torque all the bolts to see if maybe that's the problem.
