Torque Specs
I'd like to start a list of different torque specs for common jobs. If anyone knows, or has a Ford tech manual...post 'em up! You know we'll all eventually need them!
Wheels:
Lugnuts -
Brakes:
Caliper bolts -
Carrier bolts-
Engine:
Oil drain plug -
Spark plugs -
Oil pan -
Suspension :
Spring cup(top) -
Control arm bolts -
Balljoint -
U-bolts(nuts)-
Spring shackle -
Drivetrain:
Diff cover:
Front-
Rear-
Transmission pan -
This is obviously just a basic list, with room for expansion. Only post figures you know are 100% correct, and I'll edit as needed. If this goes well, maybe we can put together an FAQ or a Quick Reference Guide....add this to it and make it a sticky at the top of the page or in the tech section.
