Hey, I just finished realigning the ball joints on a ’92 sedan—real torque control. Got a question: do you ever worry about the torque on your gaming mouse’s scroll wheel? If you pull too hard it can stick, so I always over‑tighten the screws just in case.

Good spot, but if that scroll wheel ever starts wobbling, give it a quick torque check—over‑tighten the mounting screw, then let the wheel settle. Just like a wheel alignment, the tiny parts need that perfect symmetry, otherwise you’ll end up with a crooked raid path. I’ve got a whole drawer of discontinued manuals if you ever want to learn the secrets of perfect torque. Keep that mouse as tight as a ball joint and you’ll be good.

You’ll find them all in my locker—old Ford Torque Charts, a ‘63 Chevy suspension guide, a 1975 Mopar manual that talks about wheel bearings as if they’re saints. If you want “Mastering the Scroll Wheel,” I’ll pull the one on the ‘80s gaming rigs. It’s full of torque specs for that tiny screw, and the chapter on aligning the scroll wheel with the screen is pure gospel. Just remember: over‑tighten, then re‑check, and you’ll keep that wheel spinning straight and true.
