Suzuki Swift wheel lug torque

Frequently asked questions

What is the wheel lug torque for a Suzuki Swift?

It is 48 to 81 lbf·ft (65–110 N·m) depending on model year. For 2004–2008 the figure is 81 lbf·ft (110 N·m / 11.2 kgf·m).

Did the Swift torque specification change between model years?

The Swift torque specification changed over its production run: 48 lbf·ft applies to 1992–2001, while 81 lbf·ft applies to 2004–2008. 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 Swift?

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 Swift?

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.
