Frequently asked questions
What is the wheel lug torque for a Dodge and Ram Journey?
It is 95 to 100 lbf·ft (129–136 N·m) depending on model year. For 2019–2020 the figure is 100 lbf·ft (136 N·m / 13.9 kgf·m).
Did the Journey torque specification change between model years?
The Journey torque specification changed over its production run: 95 lbf·ft applies to 2009–2012, while 100 lbf·ft applies to 2019–2020. 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 Journey?
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 Journey?
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.
