Torque spec?
Step dad had a clunking noise in the rr of his '05. He pulled off the centercap and the nut that holds the hub on the car was loose and rolling around inside. 
Anyone with a manual that can give us the torque spec for it?
TIA.

There is also a TSB out on the axle nut and GM has a replacement part number for the nut and a new torque spec including Loc-tite.
See the following originally posted by JBeidl
If there is presence of the nut "indexing and/or looseness", do the following:
1. Remove existing nut
2. Apply Goodwrench # 12345493 (also known as Loctite 272) on threads in area where nut finally seats
3. Install new nut (p/n 10257766)
4. Torque nut to 190Nm (140 ft-lb), static
5. Allow 24 hours cure time.
Update 9/13/2007
Part Number 12345493. has been superceded by 89021297.
Note that a NEW nut is required and the torque has been increased from 118 ft-lb to 140 ft-lb.

I suspect that you are talking about the axle nut. The spec from the factory is 118 lb/ft.
There is also a TSB out on the axle nut and GM has a replacement part number for the nut and a new torque spec including Loc-tite.
