bbf2530 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) I am getting ready to switch my summer tire/wheel combo back to stock and was wondering what is the spec for torquing the lugnuts. Thanks in advance. Hi Tom. :D According to the PDF version of the 2008 Edge Owners Manual (page 269), the correct Torque rating is 100 lb.ft. Keep in mind, as the Manual also mentions: "*Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners." So clean the lug threads and lug nuts, otherwise the actual Torque may wind up being lower than recommended/expected. To check your Owners Manual, just look in the Index under "L" for "Lug nuts". Also, do not use any lubricants or anti-seize compounds on the lug threads or nuts. Unless specifically called for (and it is not called for on the Edge), use of those types of lubricants can result in overtightened lug nuts, and possible damage to the lugs and/or warped brake rotors. Good luck. :beerchug: Edited November 8, 2008 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
