There has been some discussion over the years here on the relationship between bolt torque and final clamping pressure of the joint. Ran across a YouTube that I think may have some useful information.
I did a search and couldn't find a thread with a relevant title to add to. This seemed like a logical spot to me?

Jump to 16:40 for the clamping pressure part of the video.


I'm one of the "use anti-seize on wheel studs" - especially with aluminum wheels on salted roads. Didn't think there would be this much change. Have some thinking to do............
