Default I was thinking about trying new bolts...

Just reading about your theft. I'm really sorry. That's really the last thing you needed. :-/

Well, if you find yourself getting S4 withdrawl, I'll be happy to give you a ride! I just hope the wheel doesn't fall off while I'm doing it.. :-p

What did you use to torque the wheel nuts/bolts? Did you clean the bolts before reuse?
