This is page MA-34 from a factory service manual's Service Data and Specifications (S.D.S.) section, continuing the Chassis and Body Maintenance chapter. It presents a tightening torque table for chassis fasteners, with each value given in three units: Newton-meters (N·m), kilogram-meters (kg-m), and foot-pounds (ft-lb). Covered systems include: the clutch (pedal stopper lock nut, cable adjuster lock nut), manual transaxle (drain plug), front axle and front suspension (strut piston rod self-lock nut, strut-to-body and strut-to-knuckle bolts, transverse link to body front and rear side), rear axle and rear suspension (shock absorber upper and lower ends, upper and lower links), wheel and tire (wheel nut torque of 98-118 N·m / 72-87 ft-lb), the brake system (caliper to knuckle, air bleed valve, brake lamp switch, brake booster input rod lock nut), and the steering system (tie-rod lock nut, tie-rod stud to knuckle). A reader can use this page to correctly torque common maintenance fasteners such as wheel nuts, transaxle drain plugs, brake caliper bolts, and tie-rod nuts. The page itself does not state a model or year, but the front-strut/transaxle layout is consistent with a small front-wheel-drive car such as the Nissan Micra it was filed under.

Frequently asked questions

What is the wheel nut torque specification?
Wheel nuts are torqued to 98-118 N·m (10.0-12.0 kg-m, 72-87 ft-lb).
What is the manual transaxle drain plug torque?
The manual transaxle drain plug torque is 10-20 N·m (1.0-2.0 kg-m, 7-14 ft-lb).
What torque is used for the brake caliper to knuckle bolts?
Caliper to knuckle bolts are torqued to 39-49 N·m (4.0-5.0 kg-m, 29-36 ft-lb), and the air bleed valve to 7-9 N·m (0.7-0.9 kg-m, 5.1-6.5 ft-lb).
What are the strut mounting torque values?
Strut to body: 25-30 N·m (2.6-3.1 kg-m, 19-22 ft-lb); strut to knuckle: 98-118 N·m (10.0-12.0 kg-m, 72-87 ft-lb); piston rod self-lock nut: 31-42 N·m (3.2-4.3 kg-m, 23-31 ft-lb).
