Camber bolt torque setting

[Edges]

I can't seem to find a definitive answer here, lots of questions asked though.

I'm going to be fitting camber bolts tomorrow and want to know weather to torque to specs or go FT?? Anyone with experience with trouble with these would be great to hear from!

Thanks

Standard are 140n, but some camber bolts say don't tighten over 103n. I know that doesn't help, but just saying.

Mine camber bolts said do not over torque, 103nm.

Mine camber bolts said do not over torque, 103nm.

Then did you torque to that and they've stayed put and not move?

Standard is 105nm

103nm will be fine.

Standard is 105nm

103nm will be fine.

That's why mine don't move then.

FLOL at that meme.

FT on everything except stuff with multiple bolts and torque sequences/bearings IMO.

I've had them move once at Mallory, ended up with -5 on the o/s and -1 on the n/s, since that, 140n will do me.

Fitted them tonight, before I had n/s at -0.8 and o/s -1.3.

now have n/s -2.5 o/s -2.3. Torque to 105nm

feels so much nicer to drive, just hope they stay put now!

Fitted mine today to, have about -3 each side now. Torqued mine to 110NM
