What’s the torque on the front axle of a 2007 Chevy Malibu

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! You're looking to snug up the front axle nut on your 2007 Chevy Malibu LT? The torque spec for that axle nut is 159 ft-lbs (216 Nm). That’s tight enough to hold everything in place but not so tight you're putting the Hulk’s strength into it! Just make sure you're using a torque wrench to avoid under- or overtightening, as that could lead to premature wear or, worse, a busted bearing. I'd still get verification from your local Chevy dealer as a just in case!
