Lancer Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 There must be a place where I can find out how tight to make the wheel lug nuts -- a value in foot pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hanlon Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Below is a a pdf from Dayton wire wheels assuming that is what is on the vehicle http://www.daytonwirewheels.com/pdf/installationinstructionsdaytonbolt.pdf I had a bad experience of not checking torque of the wheel where I took the vehicle out after a repair to the power steering control valve. I was going about 80- 90 mph and 3 lugs came off, one of the remainder was lose and the wheel was down to one lug. I felt the woble and thought I blew the seals. But when I looked the wheel was leaning. I learned my lesson the hard way. It took weeks to find replacement lugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim78 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Interestingly, the Avanti shop manual does not give wheel lug torque specs. Personally, I use 65-70 ft.lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
