TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materialspresent on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub,brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fastenersthat attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mountingsurfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at thewheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come offwhile the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.

165 lb.ft (224 Nm)M14 x 1.5
*Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Fordrecommended replacement fasteners.
On vehicles equipped with single rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torqueat 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changinga flat tire, wheel removal).
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the wheel lug nuts to the specifiedtorque at 100 miles (160 kilometers), and again at 500 miles (800 kilometers) of newvehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flattire, wheel removal).
It is important to follow the proper wheel mounting and lug nut torque procedures.
On all two-piece flat wheel nuts, apply one drop of motor oil between the flat washerand the nut. Do not apply motor oil to the wheel nut threads or the wheel stud threads.
