Hello everyone I was wondering what the torque spec is for the steering wheel nut for an 05 Malibu LS because I can’t seem to find it any where. The job I’m going to do requires the steering wheel to be pulled out and I want to be sure that I have the right torque specs for when I put it back on.
I've never torqued a steering wheel nut. Wheel usually goes onto a splined shaft so good and tight is all it needs as not to pull off, it will not twist and loosen on a splined shaft.
Specs for a '09 are only 24 ft. lbs. . which is not really super tight.
