Mine is offset about an inch as well. Torque arm bushing (on the #2 / first drive axle) is squeezed out to 1 side.. I got vibration at the back of the truck, then it seems like the front (steering wheel starts shaking. Ive spent alot of money chasing the problem But Didnt do the torque arms.

@@rcj9611 Replace leaf bushing. Meassure axle centering from brake drum inner liner to frame and make sure you have the same meassurement on both sides. If not then shim the torque rod at differential side until you havevit centered. Same with second rear axle. Then go in for a two rear axle thrust alignment to match up rear with front. You can use a string but the lasers are more accurate. Then you should be hood to go and no more sway.

@mattmoschkau2831 6 жыл бұрын

Manufactures have different torque specs on suspension components and if you replace these bolts check the service bulletin from the part manufacture, especially if using aftermarket bolts from Hendrickson or Euclid as it will vary. These bolts are suppose to be replaced with torque arms but very few people ever do that. Factory spec is roughly 450 ft lbs with a max of 502 ft lbs.

@thereviewer4173 5 жыл бұрын

Matt Moschkau nospam3001 The torque spec will not be over 100 ft lbs on the torque arms. I just replaced my shocks and the bolts are about the same size. The torque was close to 100 ft lbs. You can figure out the torque spec on most nuts by using a torque wrench, but the opposite direction. If your torque wrench can’t be used both directions, you might want to get yourself one that does to figure out the torque spec the bolt has. I used 100 ft lbs for my shocks. I used 30 ft lbs on my airbags. My airbags actually came with a label indicating the torque spec based on the thickness of the bolt.

@Rocksteady176 Жыл бұрын

Torque arm replacement requires proper shimming and alignment. I bet your axles are now offset. You have to meassure centering the axle first and then add or subtract shims so the axle is completly centered. Front and back axle should be perfectly centered and then a rear axle alignment is required to make sure your torsion is set correctly. People put videos up like this but only sjow you what they know. Anybody can replace the torque arms but there is a lot more to it then that. Otherwise, your tires will pay the price through damage and excessive wear. Not to mention, your pinion can very easily cost you thousands all because you did not center and align properly. This video should be taken down because it is misinformation!!!
