Ford Repair: 2003 Mustang Cobra SVT lug nut torque, mustang cobra, nut torque


Question
I have a 2003 Mustang Cobra SVT convertible with a 4.8L supercharged engine.  I just changed all 4 tires from stock to ones I special ordered from Ford SVT.    How tight should the lug nuts be?

Answer
Mike-

  I've heard that anything between 60-75lb/ft of torque is safe.  Just remember to torque the lugs in a star pattern...meaning that you do one lug, the move to the one on the opposite side.  This will prevent the rotor from warping.  Hope this helps.
