Frequently asked questions

What is the wheel lug torque for a Chevrolet Camaro?

It is 110 to 140 lbf·ft (149–190 N·m) depending on model year. For 2017–2024 the figure is 140 lbf·ft (190 N·m / 19.4 kgf·m).

Did the Camaro torque specification change between model years?

The Camaro torque specification changed over its production run: 110 lbf·ft applies to 2013–2015, while 140 lbf·ft applies to 1992–2002, 2010–2012, and 2017–2024. Using the wrong generation's figure can under- or over-tighten the wheel — match your model year exactly.

Should I grease the wheel studs on a Camaro?

Torque figures apply to clean, dry threads. Do not grease, oil or anti-seize the studs unless the manufacturer explicitly calls for it — lubricant can raise clamping force well beyond the target and stretch or snap a stud.

In what order should I tighten the wheel fasteners on a Camaro?

Tighten in a star (criss-cross) pattern in two or three passes, finishing with a calibrated torque wrench at the figure for your year, with the wheel on the ground. Re-check after 50–100 miles.
