74 2.0 914 w/ Factory front Sway Bar. Is there a Torque Value for the Front Drop Links? If not how tight should the Drop links be Mounted?

Yes, there's a value. Fairly certain it would be 18ftlbs. but... 24.5 comes to mind as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Sorry... that's more of a mystery than an answer. I don't have the factory manuals in front of me right now. |

Just looked through the Front Axle (Grp 4) factory manual and didn't see anything about a torque spec.
Güten Tite should do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) |

Did you check the last page? I know there's specs because I just went through this with my front end. 24.5 is the standard for an M8 but they use 18 as well in some instances.

I believe they have a metal sleeve to keep from over-compressing the rubber ...... if that is the case, I would go with a 'standard' torque for that size bolt in a 'structural' position ....... and ..... put a locking nut on it too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Mark, last page before supplements but, it's the 911 Factory manuals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Thats the spec I would go with... Same for the three bolts in the body. |
