Rear U-Bolts

Hey guys how much torque are the rear U-Bolts?

 

Believe it or not it's tough to find this spec for some reason. I looked up the u-bolt torque based on the various diameters of the many u-bolts out there, and came up with 85-90 ft lbs. If you've messed with the u-bolts, torque to spec after install and again after a few hundred miles driving. Hope this helps.

 

74 ft/lbs

 

Good info! Thanks @muisejt !

 

that's it??? when I got my deavers he told me torque them at 95...

 

What happens if over torqued to about 120 lbs.?

 

They’re tight AF!

 

The spacer kit I purchased said 95lbs. The u bolts are much thicker than stock

 

Thanks

 

Not sure if you noticed, but this thread is over a year old.
Here’s some information:
If you are using new OEM U-bolts, that torque setting of 74lb would apply.
You should never reuse ubolts, the threads are designed to stretch when torqued.
If you have after market bolts, the Toyota spec is meaningless. Use the torque recommendation from the mfg.

 

Thanks, I used mfgr’s torque settings instead.

 

Helpful thread. Just backing them off to slip in some SumoSprings, considering replacing the bolts.
