TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When you install a wheel, 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 to secure any fasteners
that attach the rotor to the hub so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while
your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or death. lb.ft (Nm)

1 Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford
recommended replacement fasteners.
On vehicles equipped with single rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque
at 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing
a flat tire, wheel removal).
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque
at 100 miles (160 kilometers) and again at 500 miles (800 kilometers) of new vehicle
operation and after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flat tire,
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 washer and the
nut. Do not apply motor oil to the
wheel nut threads or the wheel
stud threads.

Check Every Month
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure. Windshield washer fluid level.
1 Diesel engine only. Check Every Six Months
Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary.
Cooling system fluid level and coolant concentration (freeze-point protection). Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.
Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if necessary. Parking brake for proper operation.
Safety belts and seat latches for wear and function.
Safety warning lamps (brake, ABS, airbag and safety belt) for operation.
Washer spray and wiper operation. Clean or replace blades as necessary. Tightening Lug Nuts
Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque 1
at 500 mi
(800 km) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rota-
tion, changing a flat tire or wheel removal).
Single rear wheels
Tighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque 1
at
100 mi (160 km)
, and again at 500 mi (800 km) of new
