Iam getting ready to install a Autospring 1 1/2" levelling kit. Does any one have a pic or labelled diagram of the suspension, including the torque specs for the bolts
Thanks

 

If you have a fax number, I'll fax a few pages for you from the ford service manual.

Hey guys I will get these faxed to you later this afternoon, heading out the door for lunch now. Expect them arround 2:00 central time.

 

You're the man , thanks for that info. I will be fitting the kit next weekend
Thanks

 

Hey for you guys who got the faxes today, could you tell me the torque specs for the following?

Bottom of sway bar link to lower control arm?

Upper knuckle to upper control arm ball joint?

Top of strut assembly to frame mounting bolts (3 of them)?

Thanks!! Brandon

 

Great info i ordered the 2 1/2 Autospring i will make a block to pick up rear end if it's down a tad. 1/2" or 1" . Measurements should be within one 1/8 though.

 

I don't suppose you could fax that one more time?
214-567-9793

Thanks!!

Got the fax - THANK YOU!!!!

 

Is there anyway that someone can scan or just type out the torque specs for the following;

Bottom of sway bar link to lower control arm?

Upper knuckle to upper control arm ball joint?

Top of strut assembly to frame mounting bolts (3 of them)?

I would just ask trierguy for the fax but our cartridge is no-longer produced and I'm planning on doing the install later on today.

Thanks, Jerry

 

Cut and paste. If there is a wrong value it is a Ford misprint.

Hey RockPick.... I've posted these specs a few times now. It seems a lot of guys want them (and some other torques).
Maybe a torque value sticky is in order.
Then people who need numbers fast can pop on line and continue with their wrenching.

Just an idea...
