Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign
materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface
of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure
that any fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not
interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without
correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of control. Ib-ft (Nm)
