Front leaf spring bolt help

Hi there,
So it's been about a 2 months-ish since my ome dakar leafs were installed and I just noticed today that the bolts at the front of the leafs are tightened differently on each side. Is one too tight or too loose?

 

You forget the washers?

Maybe you accidently switched bolts when you undid everything?

I'll look at mine later.

 

Im pretty sure I didn't forget anything. But idk

 

I installed mine last year, here's how they look now

 

Thanks! But I'm actually asking about the bolt on the other side.

 

No shit of course you are

 

Just took pics but I just remembered that I had lost a nut on a trail (and washer) so I replaced it with one from Ace.

Doubt they're the same width

 

It might be the pictures but those eyes look different sizes going by the hanger

 

You think that I should tighten the nut on the first picture? Because I mean both of ours look kinda similar. I just don't want to lose a nut while driving. (Lol the wording)

 

Don't go by how much thread is exposed. Go by torque.

Unfortunately you can't get a torque wrench on those nuts, and least on the driver side... I think my torque spec on those front bolts is "right before the vein in my forehead pops out" with a box wrench.

Also, what is that crap dripping off them? Lube? You should use grease, not a spray lube...

 

Both were torqued to the same spec but idk why they turned out like that. The spray lube is fluid film. I just put it on there to see if it can reduce the amount of squeak from the leafs, which it did.

 

fluid film is NOT a lubricant. Grease the bushings with... grease... and the squeak will go away, too.

I notice you have a washer on the bolt side of that 2nd pic. Pretty sure that washer goes on the nut side. The flange bolt shouldn't need one. That's how mine was/is anyway...
