Subject: Torque specs for shocks??
IP: Logged

Message:
Anyone know what the torque specs are for front and rear shocks for a 2000 V8 4x4? Do I apply Loctite when I tighten them?

I replaced the stock shocks with Monroe Reflex. After about a month the rears are starting to clunk over sharp bumps. I never torqued them to spec, I just tightened them but obviously not enough since they were a little loose when I just checked them.

Thanks!
