2009 Dodge Challenger Bolt Sizes & Torque Specs

Lug nut torque is not verified for this summary. Review the cited evidence and exact hardware application before installation.

This page distinguishes source-backed fields, unresolved conflicts and unverified legacy records for the 2009 Dodge Challenger. Match the exact hardware and manual conditions before maintenance. A source for one field does not verify the other specifications.

Field evidence: Lug nut torque is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut socket size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut thread size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut part number is not verified; no specification is assumed.

Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler hardware changes by platform and wheel design, so a Wrangler, minivan and heavy-duty truck cannot share a generic torque answer. Match the exact year/model row and preserve hub-centric or seat-style requirements.

Common fastener categories on the 2009 Dodge Challenger

Wheel / lug nut torque and thread spec (covered above)
Brake caliper bracket, mounting, and slide/guide-pin bolts are different fasteners. Confirm the exact axle, application and service-manual specification before reassembly.
Engine oil drain plug torque and tool size when this vehicle has a verified drain-plug record
Transmission pan, valve cover, and intake manifold bolts where the database has exact records
Suspension control arm, sway bar, tie rod end and ball joint torque
Spark plug torque only when a vehicle-specific spark-plug row is available
Differential cover bolts (RWD/4WD only) and transfer case fasteners

Repair guidance for this model year

For 2009 model-year work: Always use a calibrated torque wrench for safety-critical fasteners, and replace lock washers and crush washers on every reassembly.

Tools you will need

Metric and SAE socket set (8mm-22mm plus 1/4"-7/8"), 6-point impact-rated
Calibrated torque wrench (10-150 ft-lbs covers most automotive jobs; add a 0-250 ft-lbs wrench for truck lug nuts)
Breaker bar (24" minimum) for initial loosening
Penetrating oil (PB Blaster or Kroil) for any fastener over 5 years old
Replacement washers, threadlocker, anti-seize, or dry-thread preparation only when the exact service procedure specifies them

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug nut torque on a 2009 Dodge Challenger?

Specification not verified for this lug nut summary. Do not substitute another model year's value. Field evidence: Lug nut torque is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut socket size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut thread size is not verified; no specification is assumed. Lug nut part number is not verified; no specification is assumed.

What socket size do I need for the 2009 Dodge Challenger lug nuts?

Confirm the socket against the actual lug nut; no size is assumed here.

Are the 2009 Dodge Challenger fasteners metric or SAE?

Metric and SAE hardware can both appear on one vehicle, depending on the component and exact application. Use the individually verified field and the actual fastener or service manual rather than inferring a standard from the model year, make or generation. Bolt-head markings can help identify the hardware at the bench.

Other Dodge Challenger years

Same model, different model year — fastener spec may change. Always confirm against the year for your VIN.
