Frequently asked questions

What is the wheel lug torque for a Suzuki XL-7?

It is 73 to 100 lbf·ft (99–136 N·m) depending on model year. For 2008–2009 the figure is 100 lbf·ft (136 N·m / 13.9 kgf·m).

Did the XL-7 torque specification change between model years?

The XL-7 torque specification changed over its production run: 73 lbf·ft applies to 2001–2006, while 100 lbf·ft applies to 2008–2009. 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 XL-7?

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 XL-7?

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.
