auxilary Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 you're the only one complaining - a poor mechanic always blames his tools torque for moustache bar is 30-32 ft lbs for the bushing bolts, and i think 55ft lbs for the carrier bolts. you could also invest $14 in a haynes manual that has torque settings copied from the factory service manual.

Guest ON3GO Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 thats a good idea i think. where can i order a haynes manual? no autozone or other place like that around here carries it nor can get it. is there a online place i can buy it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Honestly, Haynes and Chiltons aren't the best manuals. They're ok to have around when you need comparison notes, wiring diagrams and some torque specs. Personally, the best bet is to invest in a factory service manual. It'll cost you about 70-85 bucks, but it's worth it in the long run. I bought mine at a local shop called Allied Auto, it was just sitting there on a shelf. Here's a link off partsamerica.com (kragen stores) http://www.partsamerica.com/PartDetails.asp?SourceArea=&SourcePage=SEARCHRESULTS&MfrCode=HAN&MfrPartNumber=28012&PartType=626&PTSet=A if that doesn't show up, set up the car as your year's Z, and do a search for repair manuals. I think it's 17 bucks to order from them. franklinz: with the poor mechanic reference, i was referring to you bashing the search tool on this site. If a topic hasn't been covered, chances are it doesn't exist on the site, so search will be useless if there's nothing to find. Either that, or you're not using it right.
