This weekend I'm installing (with help) a set of KYB GR2's and Scorpion springs, in my 97 Leg OBW. I have these torque specs from my Haynes manual, can anyone verify that they are correct?

 

Front suspension: Strut / coil spring assembly

Damper rod to mount nut ... 37 to 50 ft-lbs

Strut to steering knuckle bolts/nuts ... 98 to 119 ft-lbs

Strut upper mounting bolts ... 120 to 192 in-lbs

 

Rear suspension: Strut / coil spring assembly

Damper rod to mount nut ... 37 to 50 ft-lbs

Strut to steering knuckle bolts/nuts ... 98 to 119 ft-lbs

Strut upper mounting bolts ... 120 to 228 in-lbs

 

Note the "in-lbs" on the third measurement in each case. Any other specs I need to follow?

 

Thanks!

 

Steve

Yes - those top strut mount bolts do not need pro-wrestler torque to secure them. in-lbs is correct.
