3rd gen suspension torque specs

Hey all,

I am putting a front spacer lift on my truck whenever I get it and was wondering if anybody knows where I can find the torque specs for the front suspension. Or if they exist in writing yet.

Thanks

 

You're the man!! Would you by chance have the lower A arm specs? Theres 2 I believe 24mm bolts.

 

Thank you so much for the very valuable info. Is there a service manual for these trucks yet?

 

By any chance you have the specs for the rear suspension?

 

Following for the rear torque specs

 

Comment what you need for torque specs... I subsribed to TIS for a 2 day trial and would like to compile all the suspension torque specs needed uf possible!

 

Any chance you saw the upper control arm bolt torque while you had the subscription?

 

Upper control arm pictured. Long bolt is 136 ft lbs, ball joint is 92 ft lbs for OEM specs!

 

Dang, would have been awesome if someone posted them. I need rear shock absorber bolt, panhard/track bar, sway bar torque specs.

 

Awesome thread. Will utilize this next !

 

You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you!! By any chance do you have access to the rear sway bar link torque specs?

 

Rear sway bar end link is in second pic. #4 and #5.

 

I have a stupid question. Which value is the ft lb of torque when it’s X (X,X)?

 

the 3rd value is the ft lb.

 

And what about when there’s two rows of values? Top one or bottom one?

 

The value with the asterisk is for use with union nut wrench.

 

Y’all are awesome thank you very much.

 

Here’s a short video that covers the install and torque specs. They seem to horse around somewhat IMO but still good info.

Have to thank everyone for this thread - upgraded my suspension and it was a life saver!

 

Anyone have torque specs for the rear upper links for 2023 tundra? Highlighted in red

 

The ones highlighted in red are the lower links

 

Damn, you’re right! Lol thanks! I’ll go ahead and highlight the uppers!

 

Does anyone have the torque specs for the front sway bar end links?

 

I followed the TRD lift kit specs - 150 NM for the end-link to the sway bar and 150 for the end-link to the lower control arm.
80 for connecting the bar bushing to the frame.

 

Where'd you obtain that information?

I installed mine yesterday on an SR5. Here's how I did it.

Old Sway Bar Removal
===============
- Removed TRD skid plate (6 bolts) using a floor jack
- Removed 2 lower-control arm bolts (impact wrench didn't work, had to use a breaker bar) from the old end-links but left the end-links connected to the old sway bar.
- I used a pry bar to gently dislodge the end-links from the lower control arm post (but they wouldn't come off all the way)
- Placed a floor jack under the old (black) sway bar in the the center
- Removed the 4 bushing bolts from the frame
- Lowered the jack (bar) a few inches and slowly worked the end-links off of the posts on the lower control arms
- Dropped the jack all the way and pulled out the old sway bar

New (Red TRD) sway bar installation
- Re-used bolts that connected the old end-links to the lower control arms
- Re-used the nuts that connected the old end-links to the old sway bar
- Re-used the 4 bolts that connect the bar bushings to the frame
- Attached the new end links to the new sway bar reusing the nuts (150NM torque)
- Placed the new sway bar on the ground (with a furniture pad) in the approximate position
- Placed the floor jack in the middle under the front of the bar
- Slowly raised the floor jack so the bar was 2-3 inches from the frame
- Attached the end-links to the lower control arm posts and hand tightened the reused bolts (you had to each side and lift up the bar into position and jiggle it a around a little to get it to slide on)
- Raised the jack all the way and attached the 4 bushing bolts
- Torqued the end-link bolts to 150NM and the bushing bolts to 80NM
- Re-installed skid plate and torqued the 6 bolts to 29NM using a floor jack to position the plate in the right position.
