Hey,
I just was taking out shims in back for first time, and I need two answers. I used to know the torque those three bolts go to, I can't find any record of it in the books or search here. Also, I'm down to 2mm of shim on right side, and the bolts 'seem' to bottom out before squeezing the parts together. Could that be because of corrosion from never having bolt up there that far in 30 years? Or do I need to put a few mm of washers on the bolts? Maybe both? I have to get the thing back together. Over a year ago I put in the plastic bushings, didn't have any problem like this although I didn't take any shims out then. Thanks a lot! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

From the factory manuals, (#5 Rear Axle)
Page 0.2-2/1 Tightening Torques..... Control arm bearing on body Hex Bolt M10x55 Grade 10 6.9mkp (50 ft.lbs.) There you have it. BTW, Racer Cris is right. Carefully run a tap up the hole and clean the threads out. You can also pack the hole with grease when done. Those tapped holes are actually pipes that run up and used to have plastic plugs on top. If the threads are clean, and you have long enough bolts, you can actually through-bolt them and put nuts on top to make sure they don't back off. |
