endlink torque

[ja1919]

What is the torque specs for endlinks on a 1992 gt???

I dont know of a real spec since you are cinching a durometrically-sandwiched fastener. I have the suspension loaded (flat on the ground) and go to snug and then just a little more.

Good luck.

"durometrically-sandwiched fastener"<--- now that is a 5 dollar phrase right there. i could have sworn we were talking about the space shuttle for a second.

haha, i do it the same way hissin does it. kind of difficult to do when the car is sitting on the ground....but it can be done

Not sure if Ford used the same materials but for an '88 the book says 6-12 LB-FT.

That sounds right to me. By the time anyone applied much torque to the fasteners, the elastomers would be flat. not good.
