Wheel Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Suzuki Verona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Before installing the wheels, remove any buildup of corrosion on the wheel mounting surface and the rotor mounting surface by scraping and brushing them with a wire brush. Installing the wheels without good metal-to-metal contact at the mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen, which can later allow a wheel to come off while the vehicle is moving. Wheel bolts must be tightened in sequence and to the proper torque to avoid bending the wheel or the rotor.
- Mount the wheel and tire assembly.
- Install the wheel nuts in the sequence shown. Do not tighten the wheel nuts.
- Lower the vehicle.
Tighten:
Tighten the wheel nuts to 110 N.m (81 lb-ft).
- Install the wheel cover.
