What is tightening the wheel lug nuts all about?

Whenever a car’s wheel has been taken off, it should be replaced and the lug nuts properly tightened. By properly, we mean with a torque wrench that tightens the nuts to the manufacturer’s specification. Many workshops simply use air wrenches that frequently over tighten the lug nuts. This is potentially dangerous and destructive, because it can damage the wheel, stud and lug nut, as well as warp the disc brake rotor.

Keep in mind:

Every car has a recommended torque figure for the lug nuts.
There is a sequence best followed for tightening the lug nuts.
Any kind of grease or anti-seize compound should not be applied to the threads
Even without a wheel removal, it’s advisable to check the lug nuts from time to time.

How it's done:

The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands
The wheels are installed and the lug nut installed by hand then only tightened enough to hold the wheel snugly
The vehicle is lowered off of the jack stands till the wheel just touches the ground and torque the lug nuts to specifications in a star pattern
The vehicle completely lowered to the ground and completed till all wheels are done

Our recommendation:

Have your wheels checked at every routine maintenance service, and ask the mechanic to make sure the correct torque levels are being observed.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to tighten the wheel lug nuts?

Clunking or rattling sound from the wheels.

How important is this service?

Since there is a danger of wheels coming off or of damage being done to the wheels or their attachment studs, you need to be sure that the correct procedure for tightening the wheel lug nuts has been followed for your vehicle. If there's any doubt, get an inspection from one of our expert mechanics as soon as possible.

Chevrolet Sonic L4-1.8L - Water Pump - Greensboro, North Carolina

Leo came out and was an absolute gem! He called to let me know he was on the way. I work from home and he was nice enough to send me a message instead of knocking on my door (upsetting my dog). He also made sure to keep me updated with every step, and explained how everything worked! I kinda did the weird and slightly rude hover-y thing (sorry) towards the end after the last update, but he just conversed with me and didn't lose his patience. I would most definitely use this service again! 5 stars all around!

Chevrolet Sonic L4-1.8L - Check Engine Light is on - Roseville, California

Justin arrives a little late; however, he completed the diagnostic on a timely fashion. He thoroughly explained the code and what exactly needs to happen for the engine light to come off. He provided in depth summary, media, details and recommendation via email. The media was useful. He provided photos for the fault. The voice notes described reason for visit, problem found, and service provided. Justin completed a cost estimate for Your Mechanic to process.
