i just read that in my haynes too, it also says "156 lbs in" for the top bolt...is that the same as 156 lbs ft??? seems like a hell of a lot if it is, wheel lugs are only 100!

inch lbs are 12 times less than foot lbs. 240 inch lbs is 20 ft lbs
I just snug my shock bolts tight. Dont torque them to any specs, just tight by arm strength and wrench.

Thanks
I did think it was maybe that, but it seemed too simple! LOL
Well as I have a torque wrench anyway it seems silly not to use it

Re: Lower rear shock bolt?
