How much torque is needed for the 2005 Matrix?

The 2005 Matrix has a torque of 76 foot pounds for its lug nuts. The average torque used for most vehicles is in the range of 80 to 90 ft lbs. Unfortunately, over-tightening of the lug nuts on Your car's wheels will cause the brake rotors to become warped, which in turn can increase wear and tear of the brake pads, and disrupt safe driving practices when braking. If the rotors are misshapen, they will need to be replaced. This can cost You between $149 and $350 for parts alone. Having it serviced by a mechanic or auto pro will cost You an additional $120 to $503 in labor.
