Why torque matters

Over-tightening stretches bolts and cracks parts; under-tightening lets them loosen under vibration. Every critical fastener has a specification in the workshop manual.

  • Wheel bolts : typically 90–120 Nm
  • Spark plugs : typically 20–30 Nm
  • Oil drain plug : typically 25–40 Nm
  • Caliper bracket bolts : typically 80–120 Nm
  • Cylinder head bolts : always follow the manual sequence and angles

About our database

The values shown are common workshop figures from technical documentation. They must always be verified against the vehicle’s official service manual before use.

FAQ

Yes. Overtightened wheel bolts warp the disc and stretch the stud; undertightened bolts come loose. Use the spec for your vehicle and re-check after 50–100 km.
Follow the manual. Many brake fasteners are tightened dry or with a specific compound. When in doubt, use medium-strength threadlocker on unpainted threads.
