Rick, the race shop I use, recomends more than 140 pounds. The spacer determines the clearance, not the foot pounds. I run heavy duty, costom stub axles with new bearings and races. The failures in back tend to be a twisted axle, a broken upright or a broken hub. I ran last weekend and the nuts are still tight, so maybe I am there. I'll run one more weekend and then pull it apart and inspect all of the parts. Scott

Custom stub axles probably explain the higher torque setting.
Well, I installed a new spacer and buttoned it back up. I didn't go to tight, just brought back into spec. About the Jag shop where I orderd the parts....... the local Jag dealer was so snotty, I didn't want to buy from them. So, I found Terrys. The parts where there quick (local dealer was out of stock!) and at half the price of the dealer. Give them a shot. Thanks for all the help Rick |
