I've been trying to find the correct torque setting for the (standard
factory fit) alloy wheels on my 2003 TDCI Zetec.

Could someone please educate me plz. Can't find it in the Ford manual at
all!

TIA

Andy

According to Haynes Ford Focus workshop manual (01 to 04) it is 85Nm or
63ftlbs. There is no mention of steel or alloy wheels but this manual does
cover your model, with alloy wheels and low profile tyres.

Hope this helps.

Hi
could depend on in which country he lives.
Here in Europe it´s about 120 Nm for steel wheels. 85 Nm for alloys
could be all right.
