HIya,
I am working on the front and rear suspension this weekend. I have searched on the forum and also on the web and can't seem to find specs for below. I purchased the upper control arms, both upper and lower ball joints, and inner and outer tie rods from Kryptonite - I have torque specs for those (they send with the kit).

From a separate vendor I purchased the swaybar end links for the rear.(no lift, all standard OEM). I am trying to find out what the torque specs are for:

• End links to the swaybar,
• front steering damper,
• all four shocks, and
• front lower suspension control arms

Any help would be really appreciated.

 

Torque specs on suspension parts? Just tighten until you feel the resistance and stop before your eyes are popping out. If they break during install, they are junk and need replaced immediately.

 

Rear end links - 59 lb ft
Front shocks lower bolts - 59 lb ft, top bolts - 15 lb ft
Rear shocks - 85 lb ft
Front lower control arms - nuts - 160 lb ft, lower ball joints - 37 lb ft plus 90 degrees

See attached pdf on the steering shock...

 

I had to chuckle on the break it replace it comment. I am not a big muscular woman but I know how to use my weight for leverage - unfortunately I can break things........ give for instance a bolt that is supposed to hold solar panels down to a ground mount system for 150mph - so I pulled the bolt through the frame - have to go to the manufacturer on that one.

 

Thank you so much - I really appreciate the specs and the attachment. I have had a horrible time finding bolts for the shocks and steering damper. Hopefully our local hardware store will have most in stock. When ordering new - nothing seems to come with replacement bolts or nuts, a big dissapointment. Thankfully Kryptonite products come with everything I need - hoping for an easy install.

Thanks again.
