Title: Does anyone know the torque setting for the camber pin nuts?
Post by: Mustangpaul on April 30, 2014, 09:52:53 am
Hello after half a dozen wheel alignments and discovering the camber pin nuts were stripped I would like to tell the mechanic what to torque them to . Does anyone know the torque setting for the camber pin nuts please?

Thanks got that, the real problem was that the aftermarket camber pins ahd a short thread ans therefor would never tighten enough, they just ran out of thread, that problem is fixed well, now,

Cheers

I only use K-mac brand heavy duty bolts, XY falcon ones. Washers are twice as thick and nuts are double length.

Normally I would say that advice makes cents, but your advice is so good it makes dollars :thumb:
