Lug nut torque specs?
anyone use a torque wrench to check the TT lugnuts? i've been checking the lugs before each road trip, but amazon just delivered me a nice torque wrench. wondering what setting i should use.

- :) Hi, my trailer specs for aluminum wheels is 110 to 120 lbs. I always torque mine to the max of 120 lbs. My manual also states that my steel wheel spare is only to be torqued to 90 lbs. My torque wrench only goes down to 20 lbs. and that is where my torque wrench is to be at when stored.
- My Outdoors RV Blackstone required 125-130 so check your owners manual.

why should a torque wrench be stored at 0?- Look on your axle to see what brand it is ( dexter is an example ). Go to the internet website of that manufacturer, and see what they specify. In other words, get it right from the horses mouth.
- my TT has a sticker on the side, says 100ft-lbs. Just curious, why should a torque wrench be stored at 0?
- There are torque spec.charts for any type lube you want to use.
- Any decent mechanic or tire shop should be able to tell you if they know the type of wheel and bolt size.
- My TT manual say 95 ft-lbs so that is what I torque them to.
- Lug torque depends on thread size and rim mtl.
