2008 Chevrolet Avalanche Torque

Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specification

Lug Nut Torque
140
ft-lbs

The 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche lug nut torque specification is 140 ft-lbs. This is the manufacturer-recommended torque value for all wheel lug nuts on the Chevrolet Avalanche.

Always use a calibrated click-type torque wrench and tighten lug nuts in a star (criss-cross) pattern. After mounting new wheels, tires, or rotors, re-torque after 50–100 miles of driving to account for settling. Over-torquing causes warped brake rotors and stretched studs; under-torquing risks wheel separation.

For complete maintenance specifications including oil type, brake fluid, coolant, and more, see the full 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche spec page.
