no problem at all. very often i'm in the garage and need a quick reference, without digging through FSM's and other websites.

ps: i print out pages from the FSM and put it into a binder, for the cars & bikes i own. but this is for those who dont do that. i like having quick reference sheets for common problems(brakes, fluids, belts, etc)

Wheel Nuts Torque

After driving 100 km. on my new Michelin's, I brought my 2016 SFS Limited to my Hyundai dealership to get the wheel nuts re-torqued. After they finished re-torquing I asked what the torque wrench was set at. The tech said 100 lb-ft. The owner's manual recommends 65 - 79 lb-ft. This is the first vehicle I've owned with a torque range... it's usually just one number???

So... is there any harm torquing to 100 lb-ft? The tech said no.

The specs are for a reason. Now they have over torqued the studs.


But yes, I also found it odd when I rotated my tires recently and saw the range vs a set number.

My Nissan specs were 105, Ford 95, and Hyundai has a range so I do the top of the range at 80. Realistically anything in the 70-100 range is probably fine but the tech should have followed spec. He also likely does not zero out his torque wrench when not in use either.

1. 100lbs is a number that most shops use as a 'catch-all' number. rarely will any shop use a torque wrench to get the most accurate number. i personally use 100lbs and its never failed me yet. if you have concerns, go back and have it redone to the specs hyundai requires. i personally, wouldnt worry about it; as i use 100lbs. you would really have to go waaaaay over the specs to damage, or risk having a stud snap on you.

2. we have thread dedicated to popular bolt torque specs. merging with that.
