Hi All

Can someone tell me where I can find what is the wheel stud torque setting?

Does most toyota share the same setting? because I need to do the nuts on a QNC21 bb

I just got a wheel torque wrench for xmas so I want to test it out.



thanks

I believe most Toyota cars are the same 76 ft/lbs

I always do 80lb.

76ft lbs is the OEM suggested tightness.

Yea 76 sounds right. I guess aslong as ur between 70-80 youre good

LOL! I put mine to 85 ft/lbs.

76 is correct.

If you want to test your torque wrench, take your car to les schwab. Ask them to torque your wheels, then use the wrench set at 76. If it clicks without too much movement 80-90% of the time, it's awesome.

Hey Thanks for the reply everyone Didn't have the chance to check last night.

Sorry to ask again.

Just noticed my torque wrench is in newton meters (NM) do I set it the same?? like 76 NM??

I believe u need to convert.

 

[ep82]

OK. Don't mean to sound stupid here but is this right what I am typing into google?

convert foot pounds to newton metres ??

76 ft/lbs = 76 pounds per foot?
I am getting about 103 Newton meters. does that sound about right?

 

[LiquidSnak]

103 even, yup.

I've had this page bookmarked longer than I can remember.

I just do tight as possible without stripping nut or breaking the stud..........gotta feel it. Same setting for all my cars. Never had any issues.
