Anyone know the proper torque settings for the wheels of a 2001 4X4 CC I just had to redo the rotors again im amazed i could actually get them turned just made it to the minimum thickness. however none of the tire shops around here can agree on wheel torque setting i have heard it all from 85 up 135 FT LBS I set them at 100 for now.

your cool, I think it's around 100. I just rotated the tires for the second time. I now have 12,500miles and breaks are doing great. I've been torquing mine at 100

I believe my owners manual stated 85-105 or 85-115 ft/lbs, I forget which. Have been torquing mine at 95 ft/lbs. No problems with brakes, 25,000 miles, several tire rotations. 100 ft/lbs is within range, good luck!

As long as you are in the specified range the number is not as important as having all lug nuts on the same wheel tightened to the SAME number. I tend to the lower end of the range so my wife or daughter would have a chance of changing a flat in an emergancy.

for all you guys that are putting 100lbs of torqe on your wheels, I really hope that they are aluminum! I am really surprized that your rotors are not wasted. I run 16x8 factory alum wheels on my dak and torque them to 75lbs. When I am going to open track it I go up to 85.

On my first rotation I tried 85 ft/lbs first, seemed too loose, went to 95 ft/lbs. No problems, knock on wood somewhere.
