suspension torque specs

[James]

Does anyone have the torque specs for the front and rear bolts? I'm switching my suspension tomorrow but have not been able to get the helms yet.

Looking for the front
the 2 large bolts to hub
Nut to the sway bar link
nut on the shock that bolts the bearing down to the spring seat
Top nut to the frame

And for the rear
bolt on the lower shock to axle
Top nut to frame

Got a new torque wrench for Christmas and haven't used it yet! Lmk thanks.

Thank you Koala!!

Sohcsol I'd be careful how tight you make things, that's how bolts end up breaking/seizing eventually. But your right about the sway link but I have ways around that. Anything is possible with the right tools.

Youre probably right haha. Havent broken anything so far glad somebody smarter chimed in. Ive deleted my post to reduce misinformation on the site.

Good info Koala

James, you're going to have to help me redo some bolts...

Hahaha NP bro. I did a 1/2 ass preload on the bushings so I'm doing that ASAP tomorrow.

I may have overtightened everything. When I was putting my springs in, I was instructed to just torque everything down very tight. Not to the point of breaking anything necessarily, but I still may be too tight.
