Lincoln Vehicles: Lug Nut Torque Tips

In order to tighten your Lincoln's lug nuts properly, follow these tips:

Make sure you consult your Lincoln's owner's manual for the recommended torque specification. You should use the exact torque specified in your Lincoln's owner's manual, as it can vary from model to model.

To ensure your lug nuts are properly tightened, use a torque wrench. A torque wrench allows you to tighten nuts to a specific torque setting.

To ensure accurate torque readings, make sure the threads on the lug nuts and lug bolts are clean and free of dirt, debris, or rust before tightening.

As recommended in your owner's manual, tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure that the wheel is evenly tightened.

Over tightening the lug nuts can damage the threads or warp the brake rotor. Use the torque wrench and consult your manual for instructions.

Incorrectly tightened lug nuts can cause a wheel to come loose while you are driving, which can cause an accident. If you are unsure how to tighten your lug nuts yourself, take your car to a qualified mechanic.
