What is the correct torque setting on my stock wheels?

 

The formal specs called out in the factory service manuals has varied widely over the years even though every XJ has used 1/2"x20 studs. For your 93, the manual likely called out 80-110 ft-lbs, but later models changed that to 85-115 for clean and dry threads. I've always used 100-105 ft-lbs and have never had a problem.

 

two steps in torquing lug nuts.....first torque to the lower number on all lugs, then go back and re torque to the higher number. The torque specifications are not a range.

 

I've always torqued them when I first lower the vehicle back to the ground, and then I do it again after I've driven it a short distance. But the Cherokee is the only vehicle I've owned that had two numbers.

 

Probably for the same reason before dropping the 4.0 in the XJ they added a oil filter adapter for clearance and put the adapter on with a bolt with red loctite that has very little access to get a socket on it once the engine is mounted.

 

OK, thanks. I was thinking 85 foot lbs, but wanted to make sure. And, yes I always 2 step all torques
