i figured it'd be nice to have a thread with all the torque specs located in one location, so it's easy to search for.

i was searching for the torque specs on the front strut bar. anyone have them? if youy have other torque specs, post them here.

oil pan bolt: 22-27ft/lbs
oil filter:
wheels:
front strut bar:
strut tower bolts:
shock tower bolts:
front sway bar:
rear sway bar:

 

I torque my lugnuts to 80 lbs... It;s the middle range of what nissan recommends.

 

oil pan bolt: 22-27ft/lbs
oil filter:
wheels: 80ft/lbs
front strut bar:
strut tower bolts:
shock tower bolts:
front sway bar:
rear sway bar:

 

oil pan bolt: 22-27ft/lbs... 10 bolts my manual sez 74-82 in/lbs
oil filter: 11-15 ft/lbs
oil drain plug: 22-28 ft/lbs & replace the crush washer
wheels: 80ft/lbs
front strut bar: ? turnbuckle 47-59 ft/lbs or 1.7 turns past tight
strut tower bolts: 3 bolts 1 nut 18-23 ft/lbs
shock tower bolts: 3 nuts 26-30 ft/lbs
front shock nut: 1 nut 40-47 ft/lbs
front sway bar: 59-79 ft/lbs
rear sway bar: 37-44 ft/lbs

any more?

 

damn boy. im good. anybody else want to see a torque spec listed here? i cant think of anymore.

 

what does those do? i dont get it... anything useful?

 

they are useful if you like to work on your own car. when you take off nuts, bolts, that are tightened from the factory, you must tighten them down to the specific torque level the manufactuer deems safe. that's why people buy a torque wrench. you don't always have to torque nuts and bolts down, but i just like to be safe.

 

I've gotten my front tires replaced and dealer also re-aligned my car..but now..the 2nd set of tire is also worn unevenly and making the same rumbling noise. However, the dealer is blaming the new uneven wear on my driving nabits and saying that i caused the alignment to go out ..so said i had to replace the front tires on my own..and get another alignment...
Has anyone else had this same problem??

 

Does anybody know the conversion of torque FT/LBS to metric system ?


Thanks in advance -- I have done some research .. but I am still confused.

 

No, but I can post what the manual says for these or other nuts & bolts. What do you need?

 

newton meters. if i had sitll had my physics notes i'd do it for you.. but i threw them away. sorry man.

 

1 foot pounds = 1.35581795 Newton meters

Torque specs for suspension parts when I replace my springs?

 

Great thread.. thanks!

 

can 9i ask why the torque specs for the oil pan are so low?

 

I'm no mechanical engineer by any stretch of the imagination, but my first guess is that if you torque them down too hard you will crack the oil gasket.

crank shaft pulley: 98 ft/lbs.

 

80 lbs should be more than enough i guess....i wouldn't torque my lugnuts any higher than that. i'm happy with mine at just under 70 lbs.

 

Now I'm not saying that I'm right, but the KJR crank pulley installation manual says that it should be put to 36 ft/lbs.

Can anybody verify which is correct? Is it different for the revup engine?
