Having gone through the rebuild of my front suspension, I have a few
questions:
1. the case hardened washers are supposed to have very specific tolerances.
On all of mine, the inner and outer diameters were acceptable (and frankly,
to me, not that critical), but the thickness was off considerably (something
like .058 instead of the required .065 to .068, I didn't even worry about
the flatness which is supposed to be within .0005 in). How much of a
difference is this really going to make?
2. When tightening up the various nuts and bolts there are very few torque
settings throughout the book, and I am wondering what the correct settings
should be, especially when the above case hardened washers are too thin and
when there are castellated nuts. Any help please?
