From what I read in this forum, I get the impression that incorrect tightness of the wheel locknut might cause wheel problems?

I'm thinking about buying a torque wrench and redo all the nuts? Should I do it or not? Is it a good investement?
If I do, should I raise the wheels or leave it on the ground?

By the way, how does a torque wrench work? Is like you set to a specific number and once you reach that weight, the wrench won't turn anymore? Please help!

Break loose the lugs while on the ground and re-tighten them
to 80 ft/lbs. The torque wrenchs handle spins to the proper
foot pound and when the wrench reaches that ft/lb it will
click.

in which case you turn the nuts until the guage reads 80.

A torque wrench is a good investment to make. Take notice that the torque wrenches come in different "sizes". I had purchased a Craftsman some time ago. I went to torque my wheels back on and realized the wrench only went up to 70 ft lbs. I went and got a bigger one for future use that goes up to 100 ft lbs.
