Rear Shock Torque Specs?

[INADAZE]

I've been trying to search, but I can find anything from previous posts I know I've seen.

Can someone quickly confirm the rear shock torque specs?

I believe I recall 66 ft lbs.

Looks like I'm way off with 66 ft lbs...

24 Mx manual says 66 ft lb For rear upper and lower shock bolts.

Awesome. For times sake, I set the torque wrench at 66 ft lbs on top and bottom of both shocks. This is definitely one of those times I wish I had an impact wrench for the removal and initial install. Would have made it a bit easier and faster.

I figured I could tighten them up later tonight or tomorrow if needed. Not planning on driving it between now and then.

The Hercules brand battery powered impact wrench at a harbor freight is great.

I really like most of HFs stuff. The only downside in this case would be that it's another battery and charger to maintain. I'm leaning towards a 20V DeWalt since I already have half a dozen tools and batteries in that line. For random at home tasks, any reason I shouldn't go with a 3/8 over a 1/2 impact.

Not something I've ever put a torque wrench on...

Did you re use the nylock nuts? Those really shouldn’t be re used

I reused whatever was there... Are those nuts stock? Is there a part number or alternative replacement nut that I should be using?

I recall seeing this mentioning in other threads previously, but there didn't seem to be clear agreement about the need to replace them...

Parts list. They even have a note not to reuse I bought all new hardware when I did my suspension

The Ford Service Mx manual for ‘24 says to discard the old bolts and nuts and not reuse.
