    20190313_081736.jpg Hi all!

    I was recently rear ended by a Honda Accord. It was a slow speed impact - no more than 5 - 8 mph (8 - 12 km/h) Luckily I got hit DIRECTLY on the hitch receiver - saved me potential cosmetic damage. I did a through inspection of all body gaps and everything seems to look okay (which I expect for such a low speed impact)

    I did notice my hitch cross member shifted slightly forward - noticed witness marks from three of the 19mm bolts. I plan to loosen the bolts and correct this myself.

    Does anyone know if there is a torque spec for these bolts?

    Thanks!
