Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | A wheel stud, ford p/n yl3z 1107 ab, on the right front wheel/hub assembly would not tighten to the prescribed 150 ft-lbs torque because it stretched. The wheel stud stretched 0. 044" before i stopped trying to torque it up to specification. The wheel stud and nut were replaced. The vehicle was stationary. There was no accident or incident involved. I believe that either ford has overstated the tightening torque or there is a materials and/or heat treating defect. The wheel stud appears to be zinc plated. The wheel bolt torque of 150 ft-lbs is listed in reference materials as the tightening torque for plain, unlubricated m14 class 10. 9 steel fasteners. The tightening torque for zinc plated m14 fasteners is about 20 ft-lb less. |
