ralph Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Anyone know the correct torque wrench settings for wheel nuts on alloy wheels? Mondeo mk4 2010. The handbook says 140nm but my mechanic says that's far too high and says it should be 90-100nm Don't want to either damage the threads or have wheels fall off! Looking around the 'net most seem to go for around 100 Cheers Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-S Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Heres the settings M12 - except alloy wheel security nuts = 140 Nm M12 - alloy wheel security nuts: With conical washer = 110 Nm Without conical washer = 140 Nm M14 - including security nuts = 170 Nm With conical washer = 110 Nm Cheers Paul-S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 CheersPaul Yeah I got 140nm in my handbook too but that seems ever so high!?? I asked my mechanic and he said 90-100 but no more.... He's an independent ford specialist ex-ford master technician! Still very confused! Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick85 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Apparently they revised torques they could have had some global issues so I would stick with manufactures spec u can't go wrong Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Just nipped up from 100nm to 120nm...... Think I will settle there! Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying clutchman Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 140 does seem very high, not unknown for manufacturer's specs to be wrongly recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
