Crap! Took out my car, fixed it right to the top. I've been so frustrated with all these install videos and MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS that have NO torque values its unbelievable. Probably want to absolve themselves from legal issues. :tsk:
i noticed that too...went to do my suspension and couldn't find shit. i was amazed! with the jeep there's a list of every damn bolt on that fawker.

thanks for this thread OP

Clock Bushings


Bushings to clock after installation. These joints need to be loosened then re-torqued with the cars weight sitting level and its weight on the on the suspension. Illustration only has one arrow to each joint type that needs done, do both sides of the car for all joints.

:D
First off, thank you so much for gathering and posting all this information.

I'm planning on installing some BMR lowering springs, but I only have a floor jack and no access to a lift. How would you recommend I clock the bushings? Do I need to try and put the car on ramps?

I had the shop that did my alignment take care of mine.

As far as I can figure the best you can do is put one axle on ramps at a time and clock those bushings. The loading isn't perfect but should be closer than doing nothing.

Anyone know the torque for the motor mounts? Both the underside and upper bolts. I've had some vibrations since I installed my long tubes, thinking maybe I didn't tighten the motor mounts or tranny mounts enough.

I don't have those numbers. I hope you get an answer here but it might be better to make a new thread so your question will get seen more.

I thought the upper strut nut(the single one that people have issues with the shaft turning) was 76 ft/lbs.

It's actually 184? It's late and maybe I'm reading the specs wrong.

Thanks in advance.

I clarified that now so it is easier to understand. The single nut is 76.
