triangle marking may be located on the

not appear to be flush with the rim. This
is normal only when using the
temporary spare tire.

WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign \
materials present 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 fasteners that attach the rotor to the
hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of t\
he wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at
the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the w\
heel to come off while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss
of control. lb.ft (Nm)

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust.\
Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kil\
