Can anyone tell me what the lugs should be torqued to on our cars? I don't have a SM and the OEM Manual doesn't seem to list it.

Thanks

I don't believe they have changed in the past few years so, I'm going to say 95-104 lb/ft. This comes from my '98 manual. Anybody want to back this up? :grin:

I think I read 90 or 95 somewhere...I have mine torqued at 100 based on Discount Tire here in Phoenix.

I read 95ft/lbs somewhere.

I always used 95 on my '95 :smile: I just took the mean point of the range listed in the Haynes manual for that year.

I was told by Apex Motorsports to use 90lbs.

Have Fun,

Here it is from the Ford service CD.

Thanks for the help - 95 ftlbs will do nicely, especially since thats the max of my torque wrench!

Has anyone lost any lug nuts, especially the locking ones? One of mine fell off in the driveway after I got home with my car, and my wife found it later. Lucky me, as the dealer was not very helpful in between time.

your lucky that it came off in the driveway, rather than doing 70mph down the high way.

Funny, just did my rotation today. I torque mine to an even 100. It is especially fun cleaning the shinny red calipers in those hard to reach spaces you can't reach while the wheels are on. So why stop there, I wipe down the springs, shocks, backside of the wheels, etc. while im in there. All in good fun! =)

BB00797, same here! I pull the wheels off
to coat the inner rims with brake dust
protectant and find myself 3 hours later
detailing the brakes and wheel wells...then
the entire underside with Pledge! It's sick
but fun! :lol:

 

[rpmdds]

When I took the rims off, I detailed the brakes and springs. Anything else thats not a moving part I coated with asphalt undercoat. Besides coving some corrosion-prone parts of the chassis, it darkens up the wheel well, makes those red calipers and rims stand out more!

I'm glad y'all are on the ball.

I called the dealer, they said 80!

I thought it sounded low...

I just finished my rotation also, and I cleaned the inside of the wheel and the red calipers, but that is nothing compared to you guys!
