near the center of the vehicle, as well as on

WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important
to ensure that the wheel is properly mounted
to the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been
removed and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a
properly calibrated torque wrench using a
high quality six sided (hex) deep wall socket.

Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion
or loose particles.
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern
until each nut/bolt has been tightened twice.
Ensure that the socket is fully engaged on
the lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway).
