I wanted to correct one bit of information here. The torque value listed for the axle end of the track bar probably came from the same Haynes manual that I used and it is not correct! That bolt is M10 coarse thread 10.9 hardness.

I believe Haynes did not do their conversion from NM to Ft. Lbs. The 2000 XJ FSM says 40 Ft. Lbs. for this bolt.

Don't ask why I know that 74 Ft. Lb. is too much torque for this bolt.
