New track Chatter on SRX

You think so? I used a torque wrench and tightened them to the woodys spec of 15'lbs or 180" lbs. should they be tighter?

They need to be sunk into the track flush.

 

[ClutchMaster]

If not a little below flush imo.

What torque spec do you guys use?

None, tighten them up until they are slightly sunken.

I basically do the same thing.

 

[ClutchMaster]

If you use the 15 pound torque spec they will eventually start to pull out anyway.

 

[PowderFalcon]

Right on guys!! I'll tighten the sh!t out of them tonight and sink those bishes right down!!

i'll report back!!

thanks again!

Can’t see it being studs , making that much noise pulling away that slow ??? Sounds like something is skipping??

I agree but its still a good idea to get those sunk. I think its the drivers.

 

[ClutchMaster]

You’ll see

 

[ClutchMaster]

The studs, even sunken, will actually wear the drivers somewhat, then the noise will totally disappear.

 

[Mototown]

Unless you have the studs to close to the window, squishing the window closed , causing the track to pop into the drivers

Yes, studs are definitely not tight enough they need sunked in I went over mine and then drove a few miles and went over them all again both times with track warm inside the shop.
Track too tight will make some extra noise and same with the chain if it’s way loose or too tight.

Does have enough noise though you would think the studs where hitting the front cooler or top of tunnel
