4 link bolt torque specs

Anyone have any idea of what Ft/Pounds I should torque my nuts to on my 4 link tabs? Any help would be great. Thanks

there is no real answer forthat, i use all metal self locking nuts, and tighten them down to where there is no gap between the bushing and tab.

Wow I thought I asked for a general amount of torque that people thought I might use for my 4 link nuts. I didn't relize I asked for assholes to answer and give absolutely no help but thanks. But hey what did I expect. I guess this is what I get for asking a question on SSM. I should of know better.

when i bolted in my four link on my s10 i just put them till the were tight i have heims so i put them through the activites of driving and just keep trying until they got full movement and then put some locktite

Thanks Ernie

yep, people would ask more questions, if they accually got the help they needed. People only know who to drop ship here! LOL Go with the all metal lock nuts, locktite, and retorque the nuts after a week to check everything.

here is a good read

Put On Your Science HatThere is some science behind how much to torque a fastener. It mainly comes down to bolt preload/fastener tension. When you're applying torque to a fastener, you are essentially stretching or preloading the fastener. This is done to prevent the fastener from relaxing too much and the nut from coming loose - or even worse, falling off. The big question is

i usually just tighten the ever living shit outa em...then i check em every now and then...works for me

you should have known better than to ask a stupid question.......

i gave you a perfectly good answer. you shouldnt overtighten the bolts so much that the tabs are putting the bushings in a bind.

Thanks to the people who actually offered advise. And to Cris ever heard the saying
