What Torque Does a 1995 Nissan Maxima Need for the Spindle Nut?

Nissan has long called the Maxima its "four-door sports car," and for good reason, as the sporty sedan has always offered the convenience of a sedan with the soul of a sports car. Following a short stint as the top-of-the line Datsun 810 trim level in 1981, the Nissan Maxima made its official arrival as a standalone model in 1982. The spindle nuts are what secure the halfshafts to the front hubs on your 1995 Nissan Maxima, and they require a high amount of torque to hold the halfshafts in place.
