Where can I find bolt torque specs for 3rd Gen Tacoma. Mostly for suspension.

Where can I find bolt torque specs for 3rd Gen Tacoma. Mostly for suspension.

 

Probably some on Google. If you want all of them you need the factory service manual but I think that set is like 1k

 

Search.

What an incredibly useful post.
Thanks!

 

Wow! Not paying 1k. I’ll poke around on Google. Really just need specs for front end so I can put Bilsteins on. I suspect most “mechanics” and even dealers don’t even use a torque wrench - it’s either too loose or so tight that the bolts break.

 

thank you

 

Find a post by @tonered , in his signature at the bottom of his posts, you will find a link to a web-based repair manual. Free... best price!... you will also find other very useful links there as well.

 

That’s awesome, thank you!
Dumb question - is the first number next to each part the lb ft of torque?

 

Good question...

 

I’m riding with someone else.

 

Got it. Thanks. I didn’t see the legend. So the 3rd # is lb ft. These documents are extremely helpful.

 

Heres a bigger list for future reference . https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-torque-spec-guide.318116/

 

You would be correct at some dealerships. The service tech in bay 3 just got the new Snapon JS6500 Super Duper impact gun that shoots 700 rounds a minute and he's eager to use it on the next guy that rolls through the door. LMAO
I use the "Forehead Vein" method.
One vein showing on the forehead is 30-75 lbs
Both veins showing on the Forehead is 75-150 lbs depending on elbow angle.
