{CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts can cause the wheel
to come loose and even come off. This
could lead to an accident. Be sure to
use the correct wheel nuts. If you have
to replace them, be sure to get new
GM original equipment wheel nuts. Stop
somewhere as soon as you can and have
the nuts tightened with a torque wrench
to the proper torque specification. See

lead to brake pulsation and rotor damage.

tighten the wheel nuts in the proper sequence
and to the proper torque specification. See
Capacities and Specifications on page 405 for
the wheel nut torque specification.
