antno Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi Just wondering what people are tightening the rear camber bolts to. Book figure is 184nm but I've just had a brand new bolt roll its thread. I'm going off the us manual. Does the uk and jap car have different size/grade bolt? That's 2 now bloody thing. One old one new Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 184nm, that is correct. Done mine a few times without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonc Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I went to 184 NM on mine a couple of weeks ago. I rolled the thread on an old bolt but the replacement was OK. It is a massive Torque, the garage that did the Geo were gobsmacked when I told them the torques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Have you got the washer between the eccentric washer and nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antno Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Ye I know everything jap is fucking tight. It's also because its only 2/3rds of a thread. Looks like its homemade bolts for Santa pod now then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antno Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 That's bigger bolt on the front m16 I think not m14. Ye I bought all brand new bits from Toyota. Bolt with camber washer other camber washer new nut and washer. That one went after i rolled the other side. Torque wrench has just been re calibrated as well. Maybe it's the copper slip and I should be using oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my rebuild up on stands which made getting under to finish the torques off interesting:muahaha:, Much easier on a car ramp:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
