    Hi TW community,
    Does anybody have reference material that states what the torque should be for the rear shocks and front coilover assembly for the top and bottom nuts?

    Thanks!

    Thanks everyone for your help!


    Btw, the torque for the 2nd and 3rd are different in some areas. The rear shocks attached to bottom axle housing for instance 2nd gen is 74ft lb the 3rd gen is 43ft lb.

    Shit you're right. Derp on my part. Which means I probably over torqued some bolts the other day when I installed my hangers...

    Yep. 89 ft lbs, not 120 for shackles and whatnot. Curse you, imperial system.
