My nuts cracking?
Now that I got your attention, I get a "crack" ing sound from my wheels when I start from a standstill. I have Kyokugens. Should I take them off and re-put them back on? 
I had my tires rotated and the guys used a impact gun.

Did they torque your lugnuts by hand with a torque wrench after they put them on with the impact gun? If they didn't, your lugs might not be torqued well. It could cause problems down the road.

I've heard of Kyukogen's breaking after being installed with an impact, or the tool breaks. Get a torque wrench, you won't believe how often you use it.

Re: My nuts cracking? (Rexecutioner89Si)
check your nuts to see if they are tight.
this happened to me once and i assumed it was the cv joint to i was like ok ill get to that next week.
turns out my lugs were loose as ****!!
i actually lost two of them
before i realized it was them and not the cv's
i'm not saying it's not your cv's but please check your lugs

Re: My nuts cracking? (khoalie)
Gaddamit I hope its not my CV. How much is it to replace anyways? Could I do it myself? (With my trusty Helms).
The guys used the impact gun to put the lugs on, but torqued them down with a torque wrench.
Thx guys. I'll go check.
