98 tj body mount torque

[TRLR8TDTJ]

Does anybody know the factory torque spec for body mounts. I am installing bodt lift and I cant find anywhere.

Thanks

At least I know I'm not crazy now. When I installed my rock sliders I couldn't find it either. I thumbed through the FSM and just couldn't find it... so after getting irritated I just tightened it up "good and tight". No this doesn't answer your question, but I'd be curious what others believe the torque should be.

I found the torque for them and attached a link with other torques. I might just print it and use it for quick refrence. I hope this guy is right.

Well if your tub goes flying off the chassis at a stoplight remember to tighten them another quarter turn the next time. ;)

Body mounts 25 ft lbs. According to the performance acc kit I have on the shelf.. Remember to use Locktite.. :D

Usually just tighten until the mount starts to bulge, and make sure to locktite it and it should be good.

That's the second reference to loctite. You guys are making me paranoid as I've never loctited body mounts. I think I have a chore this weekend... I assume we're talking blue?

From the FSM for a 1999 TJ:

The torque specification for the holddown
bolts are: Radiator to frame, tighten to 47 N·m (35 ft.
lbs.) torque. Main floor to frame, tighten to 67 N·m
(50 ft. lbs.) torque. Rear floor to frame, tighten to 47
N·m (35 ft. lbs.) torque.

Thanks everyone I looked in that section, but only the first page. If I only would have gone couple pages more I would have found it. I thought it was just bumper stuff.

Thanks

I remember seeing that page in my '98 FSM but didn't see the torque. Oh well, I can look on the shelf, stare at what I'm looking for but still not see it. Thanks for posting up.

If you are installing a Daystar 1" dody lift it would br 35 to 45 ft pounds and loctite.

Was working on something else and found this:

Loctite users manual.

Figured I'd post it up here so anyone can find it with the search function.
