Title: CJ7 Bodymounts: How tight?
Post by: johnnyboy on November 27, 2016, 11:15:29 AM

Anybody got any views on how much torque I should be putting on a new (rubber) bodymount?


The ones I am taking off are basically squashed flat...

Not sure if its the correct way but I threadlocked mine and just tightened them until the rubbers had squashed up nicely and before the washer started to deform i didn't do them to a torque setting.
It seemed very easy to overtighten them hence the threadlock

they should be tight and not squashed bit obvious really. cant realy state a torques as there most likely isnt one
