S60RDUDE Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 So here is the Thread.. Shock Mounts I had an awful rattle and was driving me insane like THE TELL-TALE HEART and it turned out to be the lower shock bolt it was loose! So I cranked it on there tight as hell (With out shearing it off) and all is well.. ahh no rattle! Thanks to all who helped with this, the shock mounts were good and there is no play in the trailing arm end link from what I saw. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

850_olaf_nz Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 surely there's a torque specification for this fastener, such that you can apply the correct force without risking damage by overtightening? :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 it would be in your best interest to take the strut out and make sure it didn't do damage to the knuckleGary, check your end links for slop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwein Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 honestly with shocks and struts torque specs dont really count.. unless maybe if your using like lock tight or somthing... the correct torque specs on my rear shocks loosed up with in 50 miles on my 850 when i put on my suspension this summer, so i just cranked them down and they have been fine for the past 5 or 6k since then.
