lawdude Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 OK guys found it. Page 12 of the GT500 supplement says 100 ft/lbs (135 Nm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I believe that is basic for all lug nuts on Ford cars 110 lbs . Put a drop of oil on the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I believe that is basic for all lug nuts on Ford cars 110 lbs . Put a drop of oil on the threads. It's in your manual; be sure to re-torque after so many miles ... also in your manual. And don't apply any lubricant to the threads - the torque spec is for dry threads. Applying lube on the threads with the same amount torque will result in a greater net clamping force on the wheel and can over-stress the threads on the nut.

6-Speed Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 HMMM must tell my Ford dealer that put a drop of oil on the threads when torgueing wheels. Should be okay as long as they reduce the applied torque to compensate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
