CJ7 Bodymounts: How tight?
« 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
