Rear Axle Nut Torque Value
Guys, can anyone tell me the torque value for the rear axle nuts on a 2016 Stingray Z51? A forum search yielded a ton of answers for a C6 but I couldn't find anything definitive relating to a C7.

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated. Last summer I asked the dealership check these and replace/tighten if necessary because I was getting clunking sound from the rear ended. I noticed on the invoice they “retorqued to 100 ft lbs” meaning they used the old axle nuts and didn’t tighten to the proper torque value. They also refused to use loctite (but couldn’t explain why they wouldn’t). I’ll do it myself this time and hopefully take care of the problem.
