What is the torque standard for car wheel bolts?
1 Answers
Car wheel bolt torque standards vary depending on the vehicle model, and the specific values should be checked in the manual. Here are some relevant details: 1. General situation: For household passenger cars, it is generally 90-110N, which means a one-meter lever with 9-11 kilograms of force. However, some modern cars use bolts instead of the traditional nuts, and the torque should be smaller because the bolts have conical surfaces—over-tightening may cause the wheel hub to crack. 2. Torque specifications: Whether the wheel is steel or aluminum, generally, using the original car's lug wrench with a 20cm extension and right-arm pressure is sufficient.
