Figure 10 - 2: lug nut sequence of tightening
Tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque for the axle size on your trailer, to prevent
wheels from coming loose. Use a torque wrench to tighten the fasteners. If you do
not have a torque wrench, tighten the fasteners with a lug wrench as much as you
can, then have a service garage or dealer tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque.
Over-tightening will result in breaking the studs or permanently deforming the
mounting stud holes in the wheels. Do not exceed 120 ft./lb.
10.2.10 Suspension
All suspension components should be visually inspected at least every 6000
miles or 6 months. Check for loose fasteners and tighten to proper torque values.
Excessively worn or damaged parts should be replaced with original parts.
