110nm is about 81 lb-ft - that's quite a difference! where can we find out for sure? (this, by the way, is one of the spec's I'd think should be in the Owners' Handbook - they show you how to find the spare in a MC, but don't say how to use it?!)

The 2002 Owners Manual, p. 109, calls for 72 ftlb. /100 nm., that is what I have always used with no problems.

The 2003 factory owner's manual that came with my MCS states 88.5 ft./lbs on p.115, FWIW.

Thanks for all the input. I best read Rudolph's manual again. I missed the wheel lug bolt torque spec.
