I have a 2000 Hyundai Elantra. A bolt from behind one of the tires came off as I was backing out of my driveway. This caused the tire to tip at an angle. I have gotten a new bolt for it, but I'm not sure about the torque for this bolt. Can anyone help me?

What bolt? There are a lot of them behind a tire and there are also 4 tires. Sorry I don’t mean to be sarcastic but we can’t see your car and like I said there are a lot of bolts back behind a tire.

What is the history here? Was there a collision in the history?

Put the bolt back and tighten to firm and take it for an alignment which it must need now and tell them the story and all you have done. I hope you got the right part and NOT just a hardware store part for this. The strength of the part is probably very important if it controls the wheel - whichever one it is. - T

The bolt was ordered from the dealership for the other side. But no torque recommendation was given and thats what I am looking for. The bolt is on there at the moment but not to the right torque.

There was a collision on the passenger side previous to my ownership of the car. It was repaired but the bolt that replaced it may have rusted out or may not have been the correct bolt.
