Chevy Cobalt Torque spec front hub?

There isn't a single torque specification for the front hub on a Chevy Cobalt. The torque specification depends on *which* bolt you're tightening. There are several bolts involved, including those attaching the caliper, the wheel studs, and potentially others depending on the specific year and configuration of your Cobalt.

To find the correct torque specifications, you must consult a repair manual specific to your year and model of Chevy Cobalt. This information is crucial to avoid damage to your vehicle. The owner's manual might have some general information, but a repair manual will be much more detailed and accurate. You can find these manuals online (often for a fee) or at auto parts stores.

Improper torque can lead to:

* Wheel detachment: Under-torqued wheel studs are extremely dangerous.

* Caliper damage: Incorrect torque on caliper bolts can lead to leaks or failure.

* Stripped threads: Over-torquing can damage threads, requiring expensive repairs.

Do not attempt this repair without the correct torque specifications. Using incorrect torque values is hazardous and can cause serious damage or injury.
