Because of the importance of having proper torque on the wheel lug nuts, you should always
have the wheels mounted and properly torqued by a qualied technician using the proper
tools.
1. Prior to travel and after excessive braking, wheel lug nuts should be checked for torque.
Torque readings must fall within the Final Torque Values in chart above.
2. Torque specications should be checked using a proper torque wrench.
3. If the torque falls below the Final Torque Values, additional torque is required.
4. Check and re-torque lug nuts at 10 miles (16 Km), 25 miles (40 Km) and 50 miles (80
Km) and again periodically during travel. Refer to diagrams above for proper lug pat-
tern and Final Torque Values. Thereafter check and maintain torque according to the
Final Torque Values in the chart above.
