Torque Specs?

The Missing Link · 03-30-2008, 01:42 PM

After spending garage time cleaning up the rims and painting the calipers. I have searched the owners manual and contacted Saturn On Line Chat about,What is the proper torque spec for the wheel lug nuts? Where may I find this or any other tech questions. Neither manual or Saturn on line were any help.

According to the Sky Service Manual -
it should be 100 lb. ft. (or 140 N-m if you are using metric)

I am not looking at the owners manual.
This information is located in Volume 2, page 16-47 of the Sky service manual.

I torque them to the "good and tight" spec. You'll know if you didn't torque them correctly .....but luckily you'll get 4 "signs" that you didn't before the wheel falls off.

yeah the old S-cars were all four lug on the wheels.
they were really touchy, if you torque one over the recommended spec of i think it was 103 lb. ft. the rotors would become warped ( i learned the hard way on my 2002 SC2).
ever since then i don't care if it's 6 bolt lug i am still tightening to specs.
