What is the correct 1986 Chevy van wheel torque in

There's no single torque specification for all 1986 Chevy van wheels. The correct torque depends on the specific wheel lug nuts used (size and type) and whether you have steel or aluminum wheels. The owner's manual for your *specific* 1986 Chevy van is the definitive source.

If you don't have the owner's manual:

* Look for a sticker: Check the driver's side doorjamb or the glove compartment. Sometimes, the recommended torque is printed on a sticker.

* Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific year and model Chevy van will list the correct torque specs.

* Contact a Chevy dealer: A dealership's service department can likely provide the correct information.

* Use a reliable online resource: Some websites dedicated to automotive repair may offer this information, but always double-check the source's reliability.

Important Note: Using the incorrect torque can lead to loose wheels (unsafe!) or damaged lug nuts or wheel studs. It's crucial to find the correct specification before tightening your wheels.
