I don't know if it's necessary, but I've always waited to apply final torques once the vehicle is on the ground. That way the rubber bushings settle in to their normal ride position. I always felt that if you torque them all down while still suspended, you risk putting undue rotational stress on the bushing once the vehicle weighs them down, thus shortening their life.

I agree with you. I do most stuff on a lift so people can see what's going on. Almost all bushings and some joints need to be torqued with the weight of the vehicle on the ground. An exception would be Johnny joints.

Thanks so much for this! I'm swapping mine out in a few days, this is really helpful. What size are the bolts on the front lowers?

What was the the front shock top mount bolt torque spec? The lower bolt was 56ft-lbs… is it 37ft-lbs like the rear upper bolts?

The uppers only take 20 ft/lbs.

Did you trim the finder well cover to allow more room to work at the top of the shock tower ?

Nope.

Mine gives me about an inch to work with. Gonna be tough to get the rubber bushing and nut on the shock tower but in the morning I’m going to get it done. By the way, great video.

Does that top nut on the front shocks have to be torqued as well? Also can this be done just as easy without the lift?
@TheBFHGarage
@TheBFHGarage Жыл бұрын
Easy to do without a lift. I just tighten the nut until it's firm. No need to make a pancake out if the bushing.

Not all of us have lifts in our garage. Can you change shocks without lift or jack? Or even removing tires?
@TheBFHGarage
@TheBFHGarage 8 ай бұрын
Of course you can. It is actually easier to do it on the ground with the weight of the vehicle on the springs. That is where the shocks are closest to neutral with no bind on them. I use a lift in my videos so people can see what needs to be done.

Can this be done on the ground? Do I need to jack it up?

Yes it can be done on the ground. It helps to jack it up to remove the tire for better access.
