Hi guys and gals
I was wondeirng if any of you had the torque specs on the track bar bracket on an XJ.  There's 4 bolts and I've been having trouble with it since paragon.
 
For an aftermarket frame mount...500 ft lbs maybe?  :rotflmao:
I've given them everything I've got plus red loc-tite plus lock washers plus nylocks and they still work themselves loose in about a month...been thinking about just having it welded.
 
Tried the torque's above.  I'll have to see how it works.  Those numbers are a bit higher than I was doing.

If it doesn't work, then I'll tack it.  I was looking at the rusty's bracket replacement.  It turns it into a clevis for a through bolt setup.  I'm more interested in somthing like that if I'm going to weld.
 
Just weld it, it's gonna break anyway :rolleyes:
Stupid 5 link suspension, it works but it's just a terrible design in my opinion.
