Anyone haw how to with the torque specs.
Thanks

 

Rear:
Top nut - 19 lb/ft to mounting plate.
Mounting plate - 22 lb/ft
Bottom bolt - 162 (that's right) lb/ft
Most torque wrenches only go to 150 so some estimation might be necessary.

Front:
Bottom bolts - 21 lb/ft
top nut - 19 lb/ft
Top nut is hard to do so you might just measure or count the threads before you take the old shock off and put it back with the same count.

Have fun. - C.

On that top nut, just tighten it until it compresses to the diameter size of the washers.
