Reference information, not a substitute for the maker’s spec
The calculators, charts and guides on TorqueCounts give general reference values for steel bolts, worked out from published standards, and lug nut torque values read from automakers’ owner’s manuals. Where a vehicle, machine or component maker gives a torque or a tightening procedure, theirs comes first. The bolt values assume the conditions stated on each page: grade, thread condition and a target of 75% of proof load.
Your work is your responsibility
Tightening fasteners on a vehicle or machine is safety-critical. Use a calibrated torque wrench, the right parts and the maker’s procedure, and have a qualified mechanic do the work if you’re unsure. TorqueCounts doesn’t inspect your work and can’t take account of worn, damaged, non-standard or counterfeit parts.
Accuracy and changes
We work to keep every value accurate and sourced, and each page shows when its sources were last checked. Automakers revise manuals and standards are updated; where this site and the maker’s current manual disagree, the manual wins. Please tell us about any difference you find.
