08 ACR Lug Nut Torque? - Not in Manual...

[fireball]

I just swapped the tires left to right and right to left on my '08 ACR but I don't know the lug nut torque number. I used 80 ft/lbs but I just don't know. It's not in the owners manual nor the ACR supliment.

Does anyone know the wheel lug nut torque for an '08 ACR?

Thanks,
Greg

100 ft/lbs I had to have my tech look it up, I couldn't find it anywhere either.

Yup, 08s have gone up to 100 ft-lbs compared to 90 for the 2003-2006 service manual specs.

I don't care what any manual states, whether it's 80ft-lbs or 100ft-lbs, I've used 92 ft-lbs on every car I've owned and it's always been fine. Generally any car is going to be between 80-100, so just go in the middle if you're not sure! Not perfect, but a good rule of thumb until you can find the exact torque. 8 ft-lbs is barely anything, anyway. As we all know, the most important thing is just that the lugs are all torqued equally.
