i recently replaced 2 left rear wheel studs. all went well. after retorqueing several times began to notice rhythmic scraping or creaking noise ( coinciding with wheel revolution speed) at low speed and while braking. what did I do wrong. tighten lugs to much (I have a cheap torque wrench), reassemble brakes incorrectly? damage something? I also applied a blue lube/stop squell product to the back of the both pads per product directions. any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. thanx

Why did you have to replace 2 studs to begin with? Were the studs seated all the way against the hub? Go back and be sure all is tight.
