Im adding the rugged ridge front skid which uses the bolts that hold the sway bar up. Does anyone know what the torque specs are for the 4 bolts (2 on ea side) that hold the sway bar up??

Thanks

 

If nobody responds with a specific torque figure from a factory manual you can always go to a site like this:
http://www.machinetoolhelp.com/Repairing/bolt-torque-chart.html
and get a generic torque rating based on the bolt size.

A little planning ahead can help too. If I think torqueing to spec is going to be critical and don't have access to a factroy torque spec I'll use a torque wrench to disassemble the part. I have SnapOn click type wrenches and just set whichever one I'm using to a low figure and click up half a turn until the bolt/nut breaks. Then it can usually be fine tuned a bit on a subsequent bolt/nut. Unless the fastener is rusted on this will get you close to what the factroy did.

 

Ok, those charts were somewhat confusing, plus I dont know what the thread per inch or grade of the bolt is...

Anyone have the torque specs for the 4 bolts that hold up the sway bar in the front...thanks..
