Yes, I check EVERYTHING! Being Aircraft mechanic for 40 years NO STONES unturned when you have to look the Flight Crew in the Face before and after the Flight. Yes especially the Lug nuts cause the usually use air impact gun and OVER torque them. I loosen them with my big breaker bar and torque them to 85-95 foot pounds. That way when I have Flat I can get the lug nuts broken loose with dinky tire tool.
