Mr Harry Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Done a search, looked at the workshop manual and Haynes world, but all I can find are torque values for the rear shocks. Even then, they differ. Haynes has 82 Nm for top mounting nut and 75 Nm for lower mounting nut - which is confirmed in the 90/110 workshop manual For the rear shocks workshop manual (Defender 96/97MY) has 37 Nm for shock absorber to axle But nothing for the front I think I recalled a setting where it was done by measuring from the top of the shock pin to the top of the nut, but again no luck on that. So, anyone out there have any information/ suggestions Would like to get it right as it may have contributed to the lower shock mounts getting enlongated previously Old and new shocks are OME with ploy bushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errol209 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 You're right - no values! I'd go for 75Nm both ends, if its good enough for the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Don't do them too tight or you'll compress the bushes and stop them working . If you are using nylocs just 3 or 4 threads through is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
