Hi,
I just had my tires changed at Wal-Mart and they tightened my lugs to 100 lbs/inch
Then I came home and googled the torque specifications here:

and it says the torque spec is 185 lbs/inch. Which one is correct? Should I tighten up my lugs?
Thanks in advance
your questioning if wal-mart is right?
Update: Just found it in the owner's manual... 100 lbs/ft
If walmart tightened them that tight, they woudl likely fall off by the time you got home. Your lugs nuts (to hold your wheels on) should be torqued to 100 lbs/foot, not inch. The 185 lbs/foot is the spec for the axle nut. they are two different things. hope that clears up some things for you
