Important Information
Safety guidelines and reference information for proper torque application
Safety First
- Always verify torque specifications with your vehicle's factory service manual
- Use properly calibrated torque wrenches
- Replace all torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts - they are single-use only
- When in doubt, consult a professional mechanic

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Over-tightening
Exceeding the specified torque value can stretch or break fasteners, damage threads, or crack components.
Always use a calibrated torque wrench and follow specifications exactly.
Incorrect Torque Sequence
Tightening bolts in the wrong order can cause uneven pressure distribution and potential leaks or damage.
Follow the manufacturer's specified torque sequence pattern.
Dirty Threads
Dirt, rust, or old thread locker can affect torque readings and proper fastener tension.
Clean and inspect all threads before assembly. Use new thread locker if specified.
Reusing TTY Bolts
Torque-to-yield bolts are designed to stretch and must not be reused.
Always replace TTY bolts with new ones. They are single-use only.
Dry vs. Lubricated
Not accounting for whether torque specs are for dry or lubricated fasteners can lead to incorrect tension.
Check if specs are for dry or lubricated threads. Use specified lubricant when required.

What IS the torque specification for the lug nuts on a 2021 Hyundai Kona?
108 ft-lbs (146 Nm)
Q2 What tools are required to properly torque the bolts on my 2018 Kona?
What tools are required to properly torque the bolts on my 2018 Kona?
A torque wrench, socket set, and appropriate size sockets for the bolts you are tightening.
Q3 How often should I check the torque on the bolts of my 2020 Kona?
How often should I check the torque on the bolts of my 2020 Kona?
Every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.
Q4 Can I use a lubricant or anti-seize when torquing the lug nuts?
Can I use a lubricant or anti-seize when torquing the lug nuts?
Yes, it IS recommended to apply a thin layer of anti-seize to the lug nuts to prevent them from seizing.
Q5 What are the consequences of over-torquing or under-torquing the bolts on my Kona?

Refer to the Hyundai service manual for your specific model year and trim level.
Environmental Considerations
Temperature, humidity, and seasonal effects on torque specifications
Temperature Effects
Includes: High Heat, Cold Weather, Thermal Cycling
Temperature Effects
Includes: High Heat, Cold Weather, Thermal Cycling
Temperature can significantly impact torque values and fastener behavior
Cold Weather
Effects:
- Increased material brittleness
- Higher torque required due to thread contraction
- Reduced thread lubricant effectiveness
Recommendations:
- Allow components to warm to room temperature when possible
- Consider using winter-grade thread lubricants
- Check torque values more frequently during winter months
Hot Weather
Effects:
- Thermal expansion of components
- Decreased friction in threads
- Accelerated lubricant breakdown
Recommendations:
- Check torque when components are at normal operating temperature
- Use temperature-resistant thread lockers
- Consider re-torquing after heat cycles
Humidity and Corrosion
Covers: Rust Prevention, Salt Exposure, Moisture Control
Humidity and Corrosion
Covers: Rust Prevention, Salt Exposure, Moisture Control
Moisture and corrosion can affect fastener integrity and torque values
High Humidity
Effects:
- Accelerated corrosion formation
- Reduced friction coefficient
- Potential thread seizing
Prevention:
- Use corrosion-resistant fasteners
- Apply appropriate anti-seize compounds
- Maintain proper protective coatings
Salt Exposure
Effects:
- Rapid corrosion development
- Thread damage
- Seized fasteners
Prevention:
- Regular underbody washing
- Use of sacrificial anodes where appropriate
- Application of protective coatings
Seasonal Maintenance
Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter maintenance schedules
Seasonal Maintenance
Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter maintenance schedules
Spring
- Inspect for winter damage
- Clean and protect exposed fasteners
- Check torque on critical components
Summer
- Monitor heat-affected components
- Check expansion-related loosening
- Inspect cooling system mounts
Fall
- Prepare for winter conditions
- Apply corrosion protection
- Verify all fasteners are properly torqued
Winter
- More frequent inspection of critical fasteners
- Check for salt damage
- Monitor suspension component torque

- Reversible ratcheting mechanism
Service Procedures
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
Technical procedure for tightening wheel lug nuts to the correct torque on a Hyundai kona
- Clean the lug nut and wheel mating surface to remove dirt and debris.
- Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the lug nut threads.
- Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern using a torque wrench to 100 Nm.
- Double-check the torque on each lug nut to ensure they are all properly tightened.
- Do not overtighten the lug nuts as this can damage the wheel or lug bolts.
Spark Plug Torque Specifications
Technical procedure for tightening spark plugs to the correct torque on a Hyundai kona
- Remove the ignition coil from the spark plug.
- Use a spark plug socket to carefully remove the spark plug.
- Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the new spark plug.
- Thread the new spark plug into the cylinder head by hand until it IS finger tight.
