To find the correct torque specification, you must consult your owner's manual. This is the only reliable source for this information. The manual will specify the torque in foot-pounds (ft-lb) or Newton-meters (Nm).
If you don't have your owner's manual, you can try:
* Dodge's official website: Look for your vehicle's year and model. They might have service manuals available for download or purchase.
* A reputable online parts store: Sites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or others often have repair information, sometimes including torque specs, though it's not always guaranteed to be complete.
* A qualified mechanic: This is the safest option. A mechanic will have access to the correct information and the tools to perform the task safely.
Using an incorrect torque specification can lead to loose wheels (very dangerous) or damaged wheel studs. Always err on the side of caution and double-check your work.
