32–03 U-Bolt Torque Checking
Check the U-bolt torque of both the front and rear
axles (where applicable).
CAUTION
Failure to retorque the U-bolt nuts could result in
spring breakage and abnormal tire wear.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and apply the
parking brakes. Chock the tires to prevent the
vehicle from moving.
2. Check the U-bolt torque in a diagonal pattern.
Set a click-type torque wrench to the highest
torque value for the fastener being checked. See
Table 1 for U-bolt torque specifications. Turn the
wrench in a clockwise motion (looking up) until
the torque wrench clicks.
3. Remove the chocks.
