I have the car for less than 2 months, 1700 miles,
Few days back I discovered that I'm missing one of the bolts (locking) on rear left wheel.

Bought torque wrench, checked all remaining bolts, most of them were ok or nearly ok - 78lbft as per spec.
The locking bolt on the other rear wheel needed nearly 1/4 of the turn to reach 78lbft, which is a lot in my opinion.

Is it factory or the dealership?
Looks like OEM bolts are not easy to find. Local dealers don't have it in stock (CA, Bay Area)

You’ll have trouble finding them elsewhere except for maybe GRP. You can borrow one from me while you wait for the dealer if you’d like. Send me a DM. I’m in North San Jose on Fridays and Weekends and I’m in Mountain View during the work week otherwise.
