Wheel nut torque specifications over the years have often been consistent for all passenger cars or trucks as well as from one model year to the next.
However, wheel sizes, assembly requirements and manufacturer designs have led to many changes and, as a result, torque specifications have changed too

Technicians should no longer assume the torque specification is the same as it always has been for a passenger car or truck. New specifications are put in place for a number of reasons and may change with each model year.

Following are the 2010 model year wheel nut torque specifications. Use them any time a wheel is being installed on a vehicle. An improperly torqued wheel can cause brake rotor distortion, which leads to brake pedal pulsation.

Refer to SI for additional information about proper wheel installation and tool use. It's recommended to use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the specified torque.
