1.25" Rear Spacer Question

Post by gocntry »

OK,
Just Got My Spacers From CpmpleteValue On Ebay.....My 2 Question Is...When I Mount These I Should Torque Them Too 100 Ft. Lbs Like The Wheels?, And Should I Use any Loctite On The Threads To Keep Them From loosening Up?.

Any help Would Be Appreciated

Thanks,

Jeff

they are very much like doing your wheels , install lugs in the star pattern so you dont get the holes outta round and you can go back and check them at 500-1000 miles to make sure there staying tight. thats all I did and there fine.

You guys have it right :D
I'd skip the thread locking compound. You should be just fine torquing them to 100lbs.
Make sure the mating surfaces are clean. That might require brushing off some rust in rust prone areas.
