Wheel Nut Torque: Find Your Exact Vehicle Specification

There is no single wheel-nut torque value that is correct for every car, van or wheel. Use the specification for your exact vehicle, wheel and fastener combination.

Where to find the correct value

  1. Identify the vehicle model, production year and wheel type.
  2. Check the vehicle handbook or the current manufacturer workshop information.
  3. Confirm whether the specification is for the original wheel or an approved replacement.
  4. Check the fastener type, thread and any instructions for dry or lubricated fitting.
  5. Use the stated units and procedure; ask a qualified workshop if information conflicts.

Do not substitute a generic car, SUV or van estimate. This page deliberately does not publish an unverified universal torque table.

Tools do different jobs

A torque wrench controls tightening to the verified specification. A tyre-pressure gauge measures air pressure; it cannot establish wheel-fastener torque.
