Frequently asked questions
What is the wheel lug torque for a Chevrolet Tracker?
It is 60 to 73 lbf·ft (81–99 N·m) depending on model year. For 2002–2004 the figure is 73 lbf·ft (99 N·m / 10.1 kgf·m).
Did the Tracker torque specification change between model years?
The Tracker torque specification changed over its production run: 60 lbf·ft applies to 1998, while 73 lbf·ft applies to 2002–2004. 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 Tracker?
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 Tracker?
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.
