Sometimes I'm hasty, but for the most part, if it isn't in the differential, hubs, or transfer case, make it as tight as possible!

You worked on your vehicle without a repair manual, for shame.

I have a repair manual but my Haynes lists the torque specs of the LCA as 133? I dunno :x

The numbers I posted came out of an FSM.

FSM eh? I think I'll go with yours then :-D

I agree.

Thaks Kejtar, Your Info Helped A Bunch. I Will Get A Repair Manual.
Now I Have Some Driveshaft Issues, Feel And Hear A Rattle In U-joints. Looks Like I Need Shims Or T/c Drop. Any Advice?

Can you be a little bit more specific? Are the ujoints binding? or are they loose?

you shouldn't have ANY rattle in a U joint. You may get a minor amount of extra vibration with the 3.5 lift. If your u joint was worn, the lift will kill it quick. Do yourself a favour and put in a new rear u joint.
( I installed the same RE lift, and assumed the noise that I heard was normal, and a couple months later, the U joint went and caused some extra grief)

Remi, double check your FSM. The body end LCA torque setting is about 133 ft/lbs. as verrive said.

We checked this when we put in my LCAs...remember?

I just double checked it and the numbers I posted are right. Those numbers are from a 2000 FSM though, so it might be that with the newer years they decided to go to lower torque on the bolts.
