Default Found Differential Bolts Loose!
Pulled the rear spring on my 89 & then went to clean it up when I noticed that a bolt & washer was pushing grease & dirt as it moved around.

I’ve looked through my FSM but cannot find a torque spec for it. Anyone have an idea??

Perfect, I thought I’d found the correct amount of 60lbft & this confirms it! Thanks!

Now to decide if I just tighten the bolts with it on jack stands or wait til it’s on the ground & weight loaded. It will eventually need an alignment but I guess tight in either position is better than no!
