Let's post up all of the torque specs we know for our cars.

I know they're out there, but I personally don't feel like using the search option for the next half hour trying to find them all.

I plan on retorqueing everything myself to avoid having my car gone at the dealer for a few days.

Post 'em up.

For the suspension banging sound under braking/acceleration the SRT guys said:

LCA to cradle bolt, horizontal bolt, torque it up to 150Nm

This should help the list grow a bit:

Caliber - torque spec's

 

[mattyice]

this is being stickied immediately :bigthumb:

we still need more detailed torque specs...something along the line of torque specs and torque pattern

 

[mrgm]

pics of locations would help a lot for somoe

I tried to tighten the axle bolts but did not have a socket large enough or possibly deep enough either. Anyone know what size socket is needed for the axle bolts ?, so I can purchase one. thanks guys.

I had the size in my tool box. I want to say 37mm? I'd have to check...

yeah 36 or 37 and it MUST be a deep well socket.

any more details on torque specs besides just the specs? like the pattern to torque down things?

What do you need a pattern for?

Heads work like wheels, wheels are a star pattern. The same goes for manifolds.

Not sure what else there would be a patten on the car.

i just wanted to make sure that the head was the same, really cant take a chance ya know

This is off of a V8 but you'll get the idea.

I didn't look at the list to see if these are torque to yield bolts, but typically you'll want to hand tighten the bolts, and then torque in a fashion that will evenly torque the head similar to how you do a wheel. If it is torque to yield, it's usually torque to this value, and then turn x amount of degrees. It usually requires a torque angle gauge, but 90 degrees can be an easy angle to measure....

 

[mattyice]

yeah i have all the tools and have torqued down other heads just wanted to be safe on it...but i guess all heads would usually be torqued down the same :jester:
