LCA torque

Aren’t they supposed to be lose until you get the weight of the car on them and then tighten?

With the OE rubber bushings , yes.

Indy cars, they don't torque those wheels either, no time. I've never had any problems with lug nuts breaking or lug nuts coming off in all of the years that I have been driving.

First, I was talking about the LCA pivot nuts. They also “hold the wheels on” since they hold the LCA on the car. You said you never torque anything, so that would apply to every critical part in the suspension.

I call bull ****. The guns used are set to a torque spec for said center lock setup, same for NASCAR and any other pro racing series that has pit stops. The guns used are not your run of the mill cheap *** HF air guns. The guns in F1 are made to the teams specs and can cost more than your dart we all have yet to see photos of… The wheel nut torque on the vintage F1 cars my brother runs is in the 300 to 400 Foot pounds depending on the car. Ever seen a torque multiplier?

Exactly. There are actually a lot of impact guns that have torque settings. Obviously the ones used in F1 and Indy are a lot more sophisticated.
