Frequently asked questions
What is the wheel lug torque for a Ford Transit Connect?
It is 66 to 150 lbf·ft (90–203 N·m) depending on model year. For 2019–2021 the figure is 150 lbf·ft (203 N·m / 20.7 kgf·m).
Did the Transit Connect torque specification change between model years?
The Transit Connect torque specification changed over its production run: 3 different figures are recorded between 2010 and 2021, ranging from 66 to 150 lbf·ft. Using the wrong generation's figure can under- or over-tighten the wheel — read your model year off the table on this page rather than picking either end of the range.
Should I grease the wheel studs on a Transit Connect?
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 Transit Connect?
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.
