Torque Settings
Wheel Nuts
Wheel nuts should be tightened to correct torque using a torque wrench. Never trust a “rattle gun” as these may over
or under tighten. A quality torque wrench will ensure nuts are tightened correctly. It’s important to remember to check
your wheel nuts at 50km, 500km and 1000km and periodically thereafter. The correct torque setting of 125Nm for
12mm studs, 140nm for 14mm studs and alloy wheels and 200nm for 14mm studs with steel rims. Refer to the plate on
your drawbar.
Hitch
The high tensile bolts securing your hitch should be tightened to
90
Nm. These should be checked at 5000km
intervals or 2500km in harsh off-road conditions.
Trailing Arm Pivot Bolts
The pivot bolts are a high tensile steel. The service interval for these bolts is 5000km under normal use and 2500km
for harsh off-road conditions. During travel they should be inspected daily to ensure they have not rotated or become
damaged. Correct torque is 190Nm
