Spring Shackle & U bolt torque settings?

(1/1)

Doodlebug:
Just fitted new springs on a S2a 88", anyone know the torque wrench setting for the u-bolt nuts & the shackle bolts & nuts.

The poxy Haynes manual's about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Xtremeteam:
IMHO tight,

the shackle bolts are 3 foot bar tight & ubolts are 18incg ratchet tight  :lol:

Andy the Landy:
U Bolt  = 58lb ft
Shackle  Bolt = 60 to 70 lb ft
According to Green Bible

I'd be inclined to go with Mr Redlines method :wink:  :D
