2014–2018 Dodge Durango 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 2018 Dodge Durango. Match the exact hardware and manual conditions before maintenance. A source for one field does not verify the other specifications.

These specifications also apply to the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 model years — identical specs on file for each year.

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 2018 Dodge Durango

Wheel / lug nut torque and thread spec (covered above)

Repair guidance for this model year

For 2018 model-year work: This era introduced widespread torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts on head, main, and crank pulley fasteners. TTY bolts stretch permanently when torqued and must not be reused — the spec calls for a fresh bolt every time. Always verify TTY status against the FSM before reassembly.

Tools you will need

Metric socket set (8mm-22mm), 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
