Projects Rear spring toque ?

Can’t seem to find any info on torquing down rear spring! Any ideas…

 

Tight? 35/40 ft lbs

 

If you are referring to a u-bolt with nut then use the published values for the bolt size. Over torquing can distort threads or even stretch the bolt causing damage.

 

65 to 80. Need to retorque after 50 miles of driving

 

Ford didnt use a torque wrench till the mid 30s.. tight will do

 

Done dozens. TIGHT

 

No specific torque provided by Ford.
I think that it's safe to assume that Henry Ford made his u-bolts to Grade 5 specs.
This will help.

Thanks for all the replies I’ve got so many Manuel’s and not one mentions the sequence or tightness ? I’ll turn them down tight. Good day.

 

Snugged down enough to get the cotter pin inserted. Done.
