Need Front Wheel Nut Torque
Need to get the front wheels rebalanced. Can see the fenders shaking between 53mph-59mph. Looked at the wheels. Can't believe how many weights are on them. I believe they should be torqued to 77lbs. Need to know for sure. Tom

I was told 80 +/- 3, which does include 77.

My manual shows 77 ft-lbs. But 80 is prob a easier number to remember.

Thanks everyone. Butt, I'm stuck in limbo at this point. Need a 21mm socket. Mine go to 20. Have a 21mm impact socket, too thick. Off to the tire dealer to see if they will touch it. If not, a trip to Home depot and hope they have a 21mm. Tom

A spark plug socket will work.

A 13/16 Spark plug socket will work and it is plenty deep.

The 13/16th socket worked great. Balancing the tires took 2 trips to the tire dealer 22 miles away. When I went back the second time they told an older more savvy guy to do the balance. He showed me that the tires were both wobbling slightly. He then puts the weights in two places on the wheel. Says try this out. The tires should get better as they brake in. They might have been on the bottom of the pallet from China. Mushu handles much smoother better now. Tom

As the tires wear (break in), the balance will degrade, not improve. A perfectly balanced tire will be out-of-balance as it accumulates miles. That's the biggest benefit to using some brand of balance beads IN the tire. The beads constantly compensate for tire-wear-induced balancing issues. Otherwise, one needs to re-balance tires multiple times over their life.
