I just put new links in tonight. I don't know how tight I was supposed to tighten the bolt and nut. Does anyone have a service manual that could give me the torque specs?

Thanks

 

tight?

 

x2

just tighten them up

 

then again there is a toque for the bolt that holds the front diff to the frame.. weak sauce haha

 

I could look it up in my service manual, but yeah.....^^ they're right, just tighten em'. They'll be fine.

 

well here's the thing. When I took them off I used my 1/2" drive rachet. The length of the socket was enough to get the nut off.
When I put the new one on I tightened it untill the bolt wouldn't allow the socket to turn the nut. It still didn't "feel" tight due to the bushing compressing.

I would think that with a moving part such as this that is contantly at differnt angles that the amount of compression on the bushings would have a factor in the longevity of the part.

 

18 lb-ft.

 

on my 94 the torque was between 30-45 ft lbs i believe.

 

different style end link......
