The proper wheel nut torque for Honda vehicles varies depending on the specific vehicle model and wheel size. Here are some general guidelines, but it's important to refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact torque specifications for your specific model and wheel setup.
- Small Cars (e.g., Civic, Fit): 89 lbf·ft (121 Nm)
- Compact Cars (e.g., Accord, CR-V): 98 lbf·ft (133 Nm)
- Midsize Cars (e.g., Clarity, Passport): 108 lbf·ft (146 Nm)
- Large Cars and SUVs (e.g., Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline): 118 lbf·ft (160 Nm)
It's important to follow the recommended torque specifications when tightening the wheel nuts to ensure proper wheel retention and safe driving conditions. Under-tightening can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off, while over-tightening can damage the wheel studs or threads.
