hey guys was just wondering if there so sort of a rough guide of the torque setting for. front cross-member and engine mounts, gear box bracket and basically all the suspension bolts?
I guess I could due them all up bloody tight. :unsure: I'm more worried about over tightening and weakening the bolts than anything else.

cheers JohnO

the rule i always use for bolts like these

FIRM but not tight...

don't swing off the end of your ratchet, or youll never get it undone again!!

gota make a judgement as you tighten it up

but if don't think you can make a judgment, then best of getting a manual that has them all in there....

there is a "chassis and body ae86" manual floating around the internet somewhere, maybe try find that, bout 100mb

If you have to ask the question than i suggest that you do them up as tight as you can

don't stress about hurting the bolts, you wont break them
