panhard, and trailing arm bolts. How tight?

Post by Madmac »

just put my new panhard and 3rds trailing arms on, how tight should i do the bolts up, should they be super tight or will overtightening restrict movement. the originals were tight as buggery

I did mine up with a rattle gun and they a very tight.
It shouldnt make much difference if you over tighten them as the bushes have a metal sleve that will turn on the bolt. And since it is support on oth sides by a chassi bracket (same on axle also) I couldnt imagine it crushing and limiting movement.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....

As tight as you can get them with a normal spanner or ratchet. ;)
