What torque is required for wheel hub bolts?
1 Answers
Wheel hub bolts require 100 to 120 torque. The specific torque data for tire bolts varies depending on the brand and model of the vehicle, with the original manufacturer's specifications serving as the sole standard. The wheel hub is the central part of the wheel, mounted on the axle to support the tire, typically cylindrical in shape and usually fitted with bearings to minimize friction. Common wheel hubs include steel rims and aluminum alloy hubs. Aluminum alloy hubs are lighter in weight, have lower inertial resistance, and higher manufacturing precision, resulting in less deformation during high-speed rotation and reduced inertial resistance, which helps improve the vehicle's straight-line driving performance, decreases tire rolling resistance, and consequently reduces fuel consumption. The thermal conductivity of alloy materials is about three times that of steel, offering excellent heat dissipation, which can positively impact the thermal attenuation of the vehicle's braking system, tires, and braking components.
