I know I had read here somewhere that the torque specs had been changed on the IDS, but I can't find it in the archieves anywhere can anyone tell me what the new spec was for the mounting bolts??

 

IDS instructions for the kit I just bought say 65ft-lbs.

 

I heard a while back that they changed it from 65 to 80 foot pounds, but I can't find the reference either. FWIW, after I heard this I asked my dealer about it and he thought I was crazy. I prefer to think I was just better informed than he was.

 

1. See ISOLATOR REPLACEMENT under 2.5 REAR
WHEEL COMPENSATOR. In the ASSEMBLY instructions,
correct step 1, item b to read “Alternately tighten
hex screws to 60 ft-lbs (81.3 Nm) in the pattern shown in
Figure 2-9.” Add step 1, item c to read “Back off hex
screws and retighten to 80 ft-lbs (108.5 Nm) in an alternate
pattern.”
2. See page XV under TORQUE VALUES. Replace “Isolator
bowl hex screws” torque to read “60 ft-lbs, loosen, 80
ft-lbs / 81.3 Nm, loosen, 108.5 Nm”.

 

As the manual corrections show above, tighten to 60 ft lbs, back off 1/2 turn, tighten to 80 ft lbs. in the pattern shown in the manual
