Tightening wheel nuts
- Snug every nut by hand first. With the wheel still lifted, thread each nut on evenly.
- Lower the car and torque in a star pattern. Use a torque wrench set to the value above, working across the wheel.
- Recheck after a short drive. Your manual may give a re-torque interval.
Impact guns can over-tighten nuts. Finish with a torque wrench.
Confirm with your own manual, dipstick or door-jamb label.
