Das-Uberboost 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Hi, does any one know the torque setting for the bolts which hold the rear beam mounting brackets to the chassis. Any help would be great, thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimpy66 0 Posted January 9, 2011 According to Bentley- 70 Nm/ 52 lbft Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Das-Uberboost 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks, that doesn't seem a lot ! Especially as the whole rear axle is held on by these, was surprised too when I saw how short they were. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimpy66 0 Posted January 9, 2011 I've never done them, but i notice that they go into fairly short pockets, so that'd be right! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Das-Uberboost 0 Posted January 9, 2011 I just have the fear now that I will be driving along, and next thing iv left the rear wheels behind ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimpy66 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Hmmm- spot welds for you then! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 9, 2011 That sounds about right. I've swapped the beam on my car a couple of years ago. the little stubby bolts lock in quite tight! And I think the suspension will still keep the beam on the car if all else fails :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Das-Uberboost 0 Posted January 10, 2011 Think I'll give them one last check tonight, put my mind at rest ! Cheers for the info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 10, 2011 the bolts that hold the beam to the brackets are like 100+ lbft though. some serious torque needed there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Das-Uberboost 0 Posted January 10, 2011 Is that the ones going through the bush ? I just got my big impact gun on them, there never coming loose ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 10, 2011 yeah the big bolts that go horizontally through the bush :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
