Default 350z 900hp Drive shaft shop axles - Torque setting

Hey all.

I have a APS TT 350z and i have recently upgraded my Axles to the 900hp drive shaft shop ones *snapped the stock ones*.

less then 1000km after installing them, my outer cv joint has become loose and is making a clunking noise. the hex style nuts holding the outer cv joint together have become undone/loose.

I am wondering if anyone here knows the recommended torque settings for the outer cv join.

Thanks

Cain

dunno the torque setting, but your cv joint didn't break or get damaged? cv joint on zs are a weak link and they get busted up, even with level 5 axles.

Hmm seems like an issue. The bolts on the Spline on mine let loose on the dyno.... Both sides!

Is 59lbs the stock setting? If so, I would think it should be a little higher, only because it is not a stock part, and will be exposed to higher than stock abuse...so a higher torque setting would be expected.
Let me know. Good question though.
