Lug Torque specs....

LaureltheQueen · Post by **LaureltheQueen** » Wed Nov 26, 2003 2:38 am

In the garage this evening, rotating my tires, changing oil, and cleaning out the partywagon... But I seem to have forgotten torque specifications of the lug nuts... I believe it was 67 or 75...

Please dont delete this thread til I get an awnser, thought it'd get seen here quicker than in tires/wheels/etc

Also... Do you rotate your tires in the modified x pattern, or just front to back? I usually do modified x just because I'm primarily fwd.

rotate front to rear to front

I torque mine to 65. As for rotations-if their directional tyres, then yes simply put front on rear and rear on front. If their not directional then front left to rear right etc.

I usually do 75 with a torque wrench and rotate rear right to front left.

I torque mine to 72 ft. lbs. with a torque wrench and the proper way to rotate non-directional tires on an awd is the rears go straight forward and the fronts go diagonally to the back.

Thats how I do it. It's called the modified X pattern. Torqued mine down to 74.5 ft lbs.

I really wish I could find that "My lug nuts require more torque than your Honda makes" pic. It's so fitting here

I just tighten them until I can't do it without extreme effort...

Same, and haven't run into any issues at all, ever.

I just crank 'em on hard. I've had them loosen when cranked to spec, but it could have been rust on the bolts.

That picture RULES!!!

Mainly because my last car was a Honda, and that statement more or less holds true.
