What is the torque rating for the two outer bolts on the rear spring? The 63 manual doesn't give it. Thanks, Ed

Hi there,

There is no torque rating on the end link bolts.

Normally, the installation is to install till the hole in the bolt shows through and then install the cotter pin.

Allthebest, c4c5

Thanks ATBc4c5. I failed to mention that I replaced rear spring with a composite one. The kit bolts do not have cotter key holes. However, the nuts have nylon inserts. Guess I'll tread the nuts on until car is level. Ed

HI there,
