mudmuncher Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hi all I brought some cranked trailing arms can anyone tell me what the torque settings are for the big 30 mm nut which goes though the chasis and the setting for the smaller nut which goes through the bush on the axle. Many thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Chris Hi Chris, the manual lists both the large 30mm nut and the axle bolt at the same torque i.e. 176 Nm, 130 ftlb. The axle bolt to be fully tightened when in the laden static position.

landrover598 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 thats a lot Well there is only 3 bolts holding the whole rear axle onto it's mountings, and think of the forces which get put through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks90 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 in the old "tightness scale of grunts" - that needs tightening to "Tarzan yell" tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santalars Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Well, the nut goes on until it's at the end of the thread, and is therefore screwed against the larger diameter part of the bar. I will not go any further wether you put 70 or 200 130 lbf on it. As its a nylock nut anyway you just have to make sure that the nut is on to the end. No need for any torque measurements in my opinion. Just done it last weekend, pulled it tight and then as tight as possible. thats it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
