Message	whether it's 4 properly-torqued lugs on a 5-stud car, or 5 unevenly torqued lugs, is still uneven torque. I don't have any "evidence" to pull out of my ass for you, but I'm pretty sure 9 out of 10 mechanical engineering nerds agree that warpage can occur from something as simple as this, under the right circumstances. I'm not one of those nerds on this forum that feels the need to back up everything I say with "evidence." There are some things you just shouldn't even bother discussing. The concept of rolling on less than 5 lugnuts, whether they pose the threat of rotor warpage or not, is one of them. What do you mean "you've never heard of a rotor warping from one lug missing"? I thought everyone had a retarded friend named Leo that drove their car with a missing lug or two. I know I do, but I never collected any data on his vehicle. I was concerned for my safety just standing next to it, let alone seeing how well his brakes performed at 130mph with only 3 lugnuts on one of the rear wheels. -Brad 1992 cow car 1999 girl car 1996 stock car 1986 parts car ________________________ *It's just a car. **Function > Form. ***Don't tell someone else what to do with THEIR car.
