Wheel & Rim Torque Requirements

Wheel and rim torque requirements are crucial for ensuring that the wheels are securely attached to the trailer and function properly during towing. Proper torque ensures that the wheel and rim stay firmly in place, preventing accidents caused by loose wheels while also preventing damage to the wheel studs, rims, or tires.
