This is for a 2017 Ford Fusion Platinum. Lug nuts have deformed and have to replaced at ~63,000miles. Why" Shops do the regular rotation and balance. I had a 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium and had the same results at different shops for the same rotation and balance. Why" My father's 1978 F100 had 430,000+ and were original. Quality is now poor. Les Schwab looked and said they needed to be replaced now. We can't check the torques.
