I read it is 100 somewhere on the forum, but it didn't say which wheel/car.

I don't know if that makes a difference.

 

100 ft/lbs

 

what do you mean by torque spec?

 

Thanks - it is how tight to do up wheel nuts.


I guess its 100 for all Cobalts then.

 

100 for all cobalt and all gm cars

 

it says it on the door frame to your left when your sitting in the driver seat you have to have the door open but it also says how much air to put in the tires.

 

I go by the "aluminum wheel 100 ft/lbs and steel wheel 90 ft/lbs" rule for any car.

 

I second 100 ft/lbs

I think it's in the owners manual.

If the aren't tq down correctly the rotors will warp or worse yet the wheel will fall off.

 

100ft/lbs is common for most cars, so it sounds right to me.

 

Pretty much 100 for EVERY car unless noted on vehicle otherwise.

Do not go any tighter, you will strip the bolts, or you could distort the rim. A guy at the dealership I go to shoulded me what someone did when they tightened it too tight, lets put it this way, the rim was good as a paper weight.

 

it is definately 100 ft/lbs i work at sears auto center and the torque spec we have is 100 ft/lbs. now what we normally recommend especially with aftermarket wheels is after we torque them down and you drive 100 miles on them you re-torque them to make sure they are still tight. i've seen quite a few wheels fly off because people forgot to re-torque their wheels often enough.

 

ALL GM vehicles except trucks use 100ft/lbs. Other cars such as honda use usually 78-83 ft./lbs. So most imports use lower torque where as domestics generally use 100.

 

thanks for the information captain obvious!! it's a good thing you posted that cause we might have missed it the first 5 times it was posted on here. geez good thing you came along or else we would have been putting the wheels on with super glue!

 

Ok adding this to main info post and un-sticking.
