    Torque specs - IX specific

    Does anyone know the torque specs for the bolts that connect the transfer case support bracket to the body and the bolt that connects to the rubber transfer case bushing?

    I don't know off the top of my head but you can usually go by the bolt size. I'd say 60ft/lbs will do, but I usually just go "good and tight" and call it a day (never had one back out?).

          Yeah, that's them. I ended up just sort of guessing what seemed reasonable and torqued the big one to 60 ft-lbs and the outer short ones to 40 ft-lbs.

            don't overtorque the ones from the brace to the body. the caged nuts will start to pull out of the car. ask me how I know this.. :(
