U-Bolt Torque
 

What kind of torque specs are we looking at for the U-bolts on the rear axle?

Chilton manual says 65-87

Thats a big range....damn Chiltons


I say from 1-100 ft/lbs and you should be fine...

Haha our computer at work sometimes says like 85-115 ft/lbs for lug nuts. In that case we just go for 115.


Thanks guys. I think my impact got them tighter then that but I will check them.

I put mine at 120 when I swapped axles

I have never torqued ubolts..

I put my impact on them and keep going around until none of them move anymore.
