Tire Rotation Question / Dealer Rant
OK,
Just had the H3 in for a couple things including an oil change and tire rotation. These are things I usually do myself but just don't have the time these days and am generally skeptical of the dealer.
So here's the tire rotation question. Does it make a big difference if you don't swap sides? I numbered the wheels under the center caps so I could confirm that the dealer rotated them correctly. Well, they didn't rotate them per the manual. I have always opted to include the spare in the tire rotation so the order (per the manual) Front Left goes to spare, Rear Left goes to Front Left, Spare goes to Rear Right, Rear Right goes to Front Right and Front Right goes to Rear Left. The dealer swapped Front and Rear on the Right side and moved the Rear Left up to the Front and put the spare on the Rear Left. Does any of this REALLY matter? I'm annoyed that I paid them to do it and they didn't even follow their manual.
And after finding this out I also noticed the dealer didn't put the locking lug back on the spare ... what the hell.
If I do this myself does any one know the lug torque spec for the H3?
Thanks,
K
