Here's why:
* Vehicle Variation: Torque specifications can vary based on the specific model year, engine, wheel size, and other factors.
* Safety Concerns: Providing inaccurate torque information could lead to unsafe wheel installation and potentially damage your vehicle.
How to find the correct information:
1. Your Owner's Manual: The most accurate source is your vehicle's owner's manual. Check the section on wheel and tire information.
2. Reputable Repair Manuals: Online or physical repair manuals specific to your vehicle's year, make, and model will have the torque specifications.
3. Dodge Dealer: Contact your local Dodge dealership. They can provide you with the correct torque specifications for your specific vehicle.
4. Reputable Automotive Websites: Websites like AllData, Mitchell 1, or Chilton can provide access to service information, including torque specifications, for a fee.
Important Note: Always follow the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Over-tightening can damage the wheel studs or the lug nuts, while under-tightening can lead to loose wheels, potentially causing dangerous situations.
