Rear mono suspension install question?

[Irv]

Just re-installing my mono suspension after getting my shoxk serviced and I am confused on the back washers/bolts?

Do the washers go directly behind the head of the bolt or do they go behind the bracket on the suspension shaft itself?

I have done this a couple times now but today for some reason I can't remember where they go?

This pic is the bolt/area I am talking about but I can't tell from the pic?

I think I answered my own question?

I was able to dig these up but these were also taken after I had the suspension out and re-installed, plus purchasing the sled used, I have no idea if the previous owner had the suspension out and if it was re-installed correctly?

Can anyone verify this? My guess is they belong on the outside?

You have it correct in the first pic.
Bolt, washer then bracket.

Thanks Steiner, I got that pic from the TY TECH section and my 48 yr old eyes couldn't make it out.

Appreciate it

Irv: What are the torque specs for the front and rear bolts suspension bolts? I just serviced my wifes 2009 Vector GT as well as my 2011 Apex SE and torqued all of them to 35 ft lbs as per a recommendation on here but I'm sure there is a difference between front and rear and 35 is way too low. My old Apex was something like 52 front and 43 rear Any info would be appreciated.

I only have an RX service manual so I am not going to be much help, but in it, it states 52Ft/Lbs for the rear suspension torque.

Personally, I don't use a torque wrench, never have likely never will?
I just make sure they are good and tight by feel and I check them periodically over the season and none have come loose yet.

Probably not the best way to do these as I usually overtighten most things but so far so good after many years of sledding.
