CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become
loose
and even come off. This could lead to an accident.
Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts.
If
you have
to replace them, be sure to get new GNI original
equipment wheel nuts.
Stop somewhere as soon as you can and have the
nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 95 lb-ft
(130 Nom).
NOTICE:
Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to
brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification.
