leaf spring bolt torque value ?

replacing leaf springs on my 1999 ext cab 4x4 .

anyone happen to know torque values (ft lbs) for bolts through bushings to frame and U bolts ?

thanks very much


my useless Hayes repair manual lacks that info

 

I believe its, im sure somekne will know for sure
116 front eye
60 shackles
90 u bolts

 

Right column is ft-Lb

 

I was close lol

 

Remember to check the torque on them a couple times every few hundred miles after initial install, the u-bolts especially lose a few ft. lbs of torque after you drive on them some.

 

Thank You everyone .

love this site and my Tacoma

 

I wonder why the "leaf spring hanger pin bolt x frame "requires so much more torque ?

that's a bear to do with a box wrench in one hand and torque wrench in the other . i improvised with a strap on the box wrench . no way to get a torque wrench on the nut with gas tank next to it .

 

It's next to impossible to do on the side with the gas tank...the tank is in the way of getting a torque wrench on there. I ended up using the torque wrench on the bolt side and a box wrench on the nut, turned it until the box wrench wedged itself against the frame of the truck to keep it from moving and was then able to use both hands on the torque wrench.

Ended up needing a pry bar to get the box wrench off though, lol. It got wedged in there pretty good from that.

I think it requires so much torque because unlike the shackles, that eye isn't moving. The shackles need less torque so they can move back/forth.
