General Information

1.  The torque specifications are applied to the nut and NOT 

the bolt.

Failure to use the proper fasteners when 
servicing the suspension could cause 
component failure which, if not avoided, 
could result in death or serious injury.
Failure to properly torque all fasteners 
could result in component failure which, 
if not avoided, could result in death or 
serious injury.

    All torque specifications are ± 5%. 

Torques specified are for clean, lubricated threads. 
Always Apply torque to nut if possible. 
Required re-torquing at every brake re-lining.

*  If equipped with 7/8" pan head shear bolt, ensure that the spline is 

sheared off and that there are no signs of movement.
