What is the torque on a 2000 Chevy cavalier axle nut?

There's no single torque specification for a 2000 Chevy Cavalier axle nut. The correct torque depends on the specific axle (front or rear), whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, and even potentially minor variations within the model year.

You absolutely must consult your owner's manual. This manual will give you the precise torque specifications for your vehicle. Using the incorrect torque can lead to:

* Loose axle nut: This is extremely dangerous, as the wheel could come off while driving.

* Damaged axle nut: Over-tightening can strip the threads or damage the nut.

* Damaged axle: Incorrect torque can stress the axle components.

Trying to find the torque value online without knowing the precise specifications of your car is risky. Your owner's manual is the only reliable source. If you don't have the manual, you can often find a digital version online through the Chevrolet website or a reputable parts supplier.
