You didn't mention what size axles you have, but I am guessing 5,200, or 6,000.

You may have caused some stretch to the studs, but if you did not strip anything, you may be alright. I would back them off, set the torque to 95, if 5,200# axles.

I would continue to check torque on a regular basis, as you should anyway.
