What is tightening the wheel lug nuts all about?

Whenever a car’s wheel has been taken off, it should be replaced and the lug nuts properly tightened. By properly, we mean with a torque wrench that tightens the nuts to the manufacturer’s specification. Many workshops simply use air wrenches that frequently over tighten the lug nuts. This is potentially dangerous and destructive, because it can damage the wheel, stud and lug nut, as well as warp the disc brake rotor.

Keep in mind:

  • Every car has a recommended torque figure for the lug nuts.
  • There is a sequence best followed for tightening the lug nuts.
  • Any kind of grease or anti-seize compound should not be applied to the threads
  • Even without a wheel removal, it’s advisable to check the lug nuts from time to time.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands
  • The wheels are installed and the lug nut installed by hand then only tightened enough to hold the wheel snugly
  • The vehicle is lowered off of the jack stands till the wheel just touches the ground and torque the lug nuts to specifications in a star pattern
  • The vehicle completely lowered to the ground and completed till all wheels are done

Our recommendation:

Have your wheels checked at every routine maintenance service, and ask the mechanic to make sure the correct torque levels are being observed.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to tighten the wheel lug nuts?

  • Clunking or rattling sound from the wheels.

How important is this service?

Since there is a danger of wheels coming off or of damage being done to the wheels or their attachment studs, you need to be sure that the correct procedure for tightening the wheel lug nuts has been followed for your vehicle. If there's any doubt, get an inspection from one of our expert mechanics as soon as possible.

Lexus SC430 V8-4.3L - Other Inspections - Davis, California
I requested service from MyMechanic because one of the employees at the Lexus dealership in Serramonte said that my timing belt, waterpump, and brake fluid all needed to be changed and that it would be dangerous not to do so. When John arrived he did a quick examination of my car and was surprised to learn that it came from the same dealership he used to work at. He was equally surprised that the employee said I needed repairs because apparently the timing belt, water pump, etc. do not need to be changed until at least 90k miles (my car currently has 75-76k miles). He said mechanics will often overcharge for nonexistent problems when they see a "novice," which I totally am when it comes to cars. In the end John only charged me $50 for the diagnostic (as opposed to the $700+ I would've paid for the repairs) and also gave me some helpful pointers about cleaning out the filtration system and testing the shock absorbers. I really appreciate John's honesty and am glad I went with MyMechanic instead of paying the $3,000+ quote the Lexus dealership gave me for the same job. Will definitely recommend these services to family and friends.
