Expedition 4WD V8-5.4L VIN 5 (2006)
The vehicle Owner's Guide states that each wheel that is removed and reinstalled must have the wheel nuts re-tightened at 500 miles (800km) after
service. This is required to permit the wheel clamping system to seat correctly so that the wheel nuts will hold a uniform clamp load and remain fully
tightened. To claim this operation you must file a related damage claim using labor operation 05S35Z. This labor operation includes time to check the
torque on all the wheel nuts.
