[mmacdone]

Does anybody know what the torque specifications are for lug nuts on a set of 2001 Mustang Cobra wheels. These are the OEM wheels?

I think it's 100 lbs./ft.

Correct, at least it is for an 03-04 cobra.

I concur.

Keep tightening with the 4-way until you need to put more than just your arms into it.

If you overtighten, you'll know when you go to take them off. If you think you're going to pass out as you're trying to break them loose, you overtightened them. :lmao:

105 lb-ft.

All reasons not to use an air wrench to put on lugs. And to throw away that 45 degree curved tire iron that comes from the factory and always carry a 4-way in the car.

I've actually snapped a factory tire iron before.

Yup, I went to town on the factory tire iron. 160lbs of fury!!!

I love my 100 ft/lb torque stick and my impact.

Yep, torque sticks work wonders for air tools. No more angry customers due to over-tightened lug nuts. I worked on a police chief's car for a flat tire once, the police officer dropping it off asked me to re-tighten the lugs so that the chief wouldn't get angry next time.
