Going over everything since I got updated link which is all 08 parts.Front bolts which were replaced with kit seem loose.Does anyone have specs?They are a grade 10 bolt.Old ones were 8's.

Can't say the spec off hand. But when I did mine I put them tight. Had a bunch come loose. Then I did the torque wrench and a bunch came loose. Finally I did what yamiee did originaly and loctited them with blue. I also found that when I did it, the weather was real cold outside and where they used nyloc nuts it seemed to push the nylon out. So I loctited them too.
Oh yeah I own stock in Loctite or should!I am ashamed to admit I broke the bolt now.Believe me I paid for my stupidity with over 2hrs work to get it out.I am not sure but these new bolts seem to stretch a bit or somebody put spinach in my breakfast.Researching them I believe they are a Alloy bolt.Special shoulder on them also.For today I replaced them both with SRX bolts but will order new correct ones monday.I borrowed out my suspension book which I believe had torques in it.Was a 07 edition though.Just playing on river since trails didnt get opened here.Will give torque specs here when I get them.Its a neccesity along with Loctite.Thanks.
