Frequently asked questions
What is the typical wheel lug torque for a Mitsubishi?
Across 5 Mitsubishi models it ranges from 65 to 89 lbf·ft (88–120 N·m). Torque varies by model and year, so use the table above rather than a single value.
Do all Mitsubishi models use the same torque?
No. Mitsubishi uses 4 distinct torque values across the model years 1990–2004 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.
