Installing Subframes (Question)

**Raoul-Duke** · 04-14-2009, 01:29 PM

I just bought some UMI bolt on sfc's. I was just wondering what amount of torque to tighten the bolts at and if there is any advice of "not to do's" or problems I may face/things I should do besides putting on loctite. I know it should be simple but Im just making sure cause I'm going to the track on saturday. Thanks for your input guys

The torque specs should be in the instrucions. make sure the suspension is loaded when you tighten them.

I'm about to do the same thing (mine are 3 point though) I read the instructions when I bought them.....Im going by memory here, but I think the front mounting point had no torque spec. Just give em all ya can I guess, same for the middle mounting point.
The rear point was 70ftlbs if memory serves, but it said if you got a "clunk" you should retighten to 80-100. Hopefully I'm remembering properly for you, but like it was said above, just look at your instructions.
