Lug Nut Torque Specs C70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Ron on  Thu Jan 11 16:31 CST 2001 [RELATED]

All,

Just received my latest "toy" (Proto 6016TP Torque Wrench) and can hardly wait to try it out. Question: In the owner's manual it recommends torqueing the Lug Nuts to 100 foot-pounds. Is this correct? Seems a bit on the high side to me. Other vehicles are around 70 ft/lbs.

Also, the Proto came with an interesting directions/facts sheet. It recommends torqueing all Lugs to 75% and finally to 100%. Other facts and formulas (for extensions) were included too.

Any help or guidance from you other Volvo Pros would be appreciated.

Ron

    The torque spec in my cars' owners manual (on the page that

    tells you how to change a spare) says 81 lb/ft as I recall.

    I know it is not 100 (is 100 in the torque wrench manual?).

    Now, how they expect you to torque the nuts when changing

    a spare, I don't know (anyone's emergency toolkit have a

    torque wrench).

      Ray,

      My manuals (Haynes, Volvo) said that it is 81 ftlb or 110 Nm.

      My torque wrench has both readings so I used 110 Nm.

    I stopped using foot pounds years ago but the correct torque is 110 newton meters. Your torque wrench should list metric readings opposite side of handle.
