What is the torque standard for automotive screws?
1 Answers
Automotive screw torque standards must be checked in the vehicle's maintenance manual or owner's manual, with the manufacturer's specifications being the sole criterion. For household passenger vehicles, the torque is generally 90-110N. Below are precautions for tightening car tires: 1. Tightening sequence: Car tire screws should be tightened according to their torque standard. There is a specific sequence for tightening tires—follow a diagonal order to tighten the screws step by step, doing it in three stages to ensure even force distribution on the tire screws and a more secure installation. 2. Effects of over-tightening or under-tightening: If the tire screws are tightened too much, they can easily be damaged, and it may be difficult to remove them next time. If the tire screws are too loose, it may cause abnormal noises or steering wheel vibrations while driving. In severe cases, the tires may wobble during driving, leading to the car pulling to one side.
