The lug nut torque for the Ford Fusion is 100 lbs-ft or 135 Nm. This depends on what kind of torque wrench you use and what measuring units it has. The problem is that when you change the wheel in an emergency, you don’t usually have a torque wrench. And now, when you know the torque, you just need to know that it’s a bad idea to tighten the bolts with your foot by stepping on the wrench, as many people would do. This will overtighten the lug nuts.
In this video, I will tell you more about the lug nut torque in this car and what you should do to avoid damaging the wheel hubs and rims when you are in an emergency in the middle of nowhere.
