Frequently asked questions

What is the typical wheel lug torque for a Land Rover?

Across 8 Land Rover models it ranges from 84 to 103 lbf·ft (114–140 N·m). Torque varies by model and year, so use the table above rather than a single value.

Do all Land Rover models use the same torque?

No. Land Rover uses 5 distinct torque values across the model years 1990–2022 listed here.

Do these figures apply to greased threads?

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.
