I'm retorque my new lift kits and shocks now..

But something cnfusing





That upper one is front track bar that came from rock krawler right?

I tried to retorque it with 125 ft torque.. But it keep go for it.. The nut is turn together when i retorque bolt... So do i have to hold it by using some spanner?

And also front upper shocks can't do it no space.. I need car jacker? Something can lift my car little bit to make space

 

you need to use a 21 mm wrench to hold the nut on the back so you can torque the track bolt bar down. For the upper shock bolt, I use a closed end wrench with a slight kink in it so you can access the nut

 

Yep, u need to hold the other nut with a wrench, which can sometimes be a challenge cause you have to hold it tight while torquing. What I did was I put the wrench on the other side and supported the wrench with a ca jack for support.

 

I used an open end wrench to hold the top nut on the shock. If you use a closed end it might be hard to get it off after the bolt runs all the way up...at least it was for me.

 

what is the slight kink? i searched in google,, i can't find..

and also if you use closed wrench for upper front shocks.. how do u adjust torque? closed wrench is not torque wrench right?

 

yea i know.. but i can't find bolt part of front upper shocks... it only show nut on the top...

I'll post the photo

 

If you remove your plastic fender liners ou will be able to see them just fine.

 

it looks something like this.

As for doing the torque on the upper shock bolt, i always just feel it out. I see no need to use a torque wrench on something like that. It sees no lateral movement and there are bushings which compress when you tighten it down

 

What is name that tool?
