Where can I find list of torque specs?

Email this Page… Found a nice link over on 3800pro that has a nice list of torque specs on random bolts and such. Here is the link for those interested. Last edited by freakv6; 12-18-2008 at 09:42 PM .

How big of a torque nut do I Need?

Tighten to 8 ft-lbs (10 N-m), then tighten an additional 1/3 turn to at least 37 ft-lbs (50 N-M). Upon initial installation of replacement ball joint, tighten nut to to 81 ft-lbs (110 N-m). 2. Tighten to 8 ft-lbs (10 N-m), then tighten an additional 1/3 turn to at least 48 ft-lbs (65 N-m). 3.

What’s the torque limit on a General Motors car?

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. 1. Tighten to 8 ft-lbs (10 N-m), then tighten an additional 1/3 turn to at least 37 ft-lbs (50 N-M). Upon initial installation of replacement ball joint, tighten nut to to 81 ft-lbs (110 N-m).

What should the torque be on a torque table?

Torque specifications are shown either as an exact figure, or a specific range. Follow any special instructions or multi-step directions carefully to assure correct final torque. There may be different specifications for different size bolts, bolts in different positions, tightening bolts in several stages, or a cold engine vs. a warm engine.

What are torque specifications?

Torque specifications are for dry threads only. The fastener threads should be free of oil, dirt, grit, corrosion, etc. The hardware should turn freely without binding when tightened by hand. It is important NOT to lubricate hardware threads or seats. The friction at which torque is measured against should come from the hardware seats.

What is a cv shaft?

A CV joint , or constant velocity joint, is part of a drive shaft, the shaft that attaches to a car’s transmission at one end and the wheel at the other. These joints are designed to be able to bend in any direction while continuing to turn the drive wheels at a constant velocity. They are primarily used in the drive shafts of front wheel drive cars.

What is the difference between shaft and axle?

Main difference between Axle and Shaft: Axle usually refers to a nonrotating element whereas on the other hand shaft is a rotating component of the vehicle. Axle usually provides support to wheel and pulley of the vehicle while shaft primary function is to transmit torque. Axle is used for bending and to absorb power while shaft is used to absorb bending, torque, and vibration.

What is a constant velocity axle shaft?

Axle shafts, or CV (constant velocity) shafts , are essentially long metal poles that connect the wheels of your car to the transmission gears, and allows the wheels to rotate. The transmission works to rotate the axle shafts, which in turn causes the wheels to rotate.
