Dodge Charger Bolt Pattern: Tightening Your Bolts

Depending on the number of lug nuts and the factors discussed above, the pattern of tightening the bolts on your Dodge Charger will vary. Tuscaloosa drivers that have a Charger with five bolts should tighten them in a star shape. The first round you tighten them only do it half way, then go back in the same pattern and tighten them all the way. If you only have four nuts, state on one side then go directly across, then one over to the left, and finish by crossing over to the last one.
