Does anyone know what the torque value is for the cross-shaft bushings of an upper control arm? Thanks in advance.
i am glad someone mention torque. that is a pet peve of mine. does anyone know why they say 25-35 ft lb. 18-23 ft. lbs. 12-17ft.lb.? if torque is so important why don't they say 30ft.lb. 21ft.lb. or 15.5 ft. lb.? every motor book has a torque setting page. if you look at three diff. motors the specs. will over lap. so you could basicly use one book and all the settings would be within 5ft. lb. on the 25-35 the 35 is almost 50% more than the 25. huh! huh!...frank...:bananaman :bananaman L.T.N.G. SORRY
Several reasons. Range of torque gives you a tolerance. You aim for the center of the range, in this case 30 +/- 5 lb ft. Unless you have your torque wrench calibration checked regularly you don't know if you hit exact values. Also the engineers who design these things determine what range is acceptable and safe for proper device operation without fatigueing or stretching fasteners, the materials you're applying torque to have tolerances also. Hey John, I thought REAL men didn't read the manuals...'course I guess they wouldn't ask either.
Manual, who needs a stinking manual, you just pull this handle and the seat folds foward, right big brother?
