Frequently asked questions
How many N·m in 1 lb·ft?
1 lb·ft ≈ 1.356 N·m.
Is torque the same as energy?
No — they share units dimensionally but torque is a rotational force, not energy.
What torque should lug nuts be?
Most passenger cars spec 90–120 lb·ft (120–160 N·m), but always follow your vehicle manual — over-tightening warps rotors.
