Suspension Torque Specs??
 
Does anybody have torque specs for the suspension bolts?

My thoughts were
-65 foot pounds for all the bolts that go into the frame(Upper and lower control arms)
-45 foot pounds for the bolts that go into the aluminum differential
-50 foot pounds for tie rods and hardware
-55 foot pounds for coilover shocks and for half shaft/axle bolts



Thoughts?

I will get back with you on the bolts that screw into the aluminum castings.

Also note: To get ft-lbs from in-lbs divide by 12. Example 120 in-lbs = 12 ft-lbs
also we do not use NAS bolts

So, do these ratings apply for nyloc nuts as well? Im curious since the majority of the suspension nuts are nyloc and i do not want to strip the threads.

Thanks

Toque the nylocks the same amount

Thanks Tom. The limited information that i could find online concerning nyloc nuts was conflicting.

They got different math in parts of Utah...hence the number of wives allowed, but hey; that could be a good thing.
