Tightening torque?
Hello
you say: "Use a strap to secure the strut to the frame, this will prevent the transmission from coming loose."
where should it be attached on the chassis side and suspension side?
What type of thread lock do you recommend?
I see that you advise to remove the wheel and let the hub "hang", at the risk that the silentblocs of the triangle are under tension. On the assembly documentation of my triangle it is noted that the car must be left loaded on its wheels so that the triangle is horizontal and without mechanical constraints, in order to remove it more easily. What do you think?
Thank you in advance for your
Hello
1 - In the second photo of step 1, the strap goes around the front cradle and the suspension strut. Zoom in on the photo to see the detail.
2 - Blue thread lock. https://www.oscaro.com/freinfilet-loctit...
3 - In photos 2 and 3 of step 2, a jack and a wooden wedge are used to simulate loading the suspension so that the triangle is actually horizontal and without mechanical constraints.
Sincerely.
