tires above 50 psi!!!

If they got the pressure wrong, you may want to check the torque on the lugs. On my year it's 100 ft./lbs., not sure what yours should be though.

You better check that figure- 1/2" studs torqued to 100ft/lbs doesn't sound right- 80 ft/lbs?
 






My lug nuts spec out at 100ft/lbs....
 






Front end shop will increase the pressure to this level when aligning the front end; gives a more accurate reading on the test drive by eliminating tire tracking, etc. Most places would then return to normal pressure when returning to the customer (most customers don't check the pressure on a routine basis when the vehicle is just returned so it is good that you did.) Therefore your front-end place had a lack of attention to detail. Ask them about it and tell them to get it right; they obviously need the feedback.
