Hi.

Just imported this fine Mustang 2005. But in the official inspection ( control ) the inspector notified these shaft bolts were loose. ( see pic. )

Someone here have the right torque for the bolts, and maybe tell me, if they need some loctite.

Thank You.

Have a great day.

 

I believe they do call for Loctite and its not a bad idea IMO to use it either way. Tq spec I would have to google.

 

Pics?

 

The Haynes manual says 76 ft lbs


Blue Locktite....yea

 

Anybody know what the torque should be ?

Thanx

 

????

 

Thank You 😜

Just ordered the Haynes, but still not arrived 😊

 

Hey, that's what it says for the flange.......

 

I think the ???? was for the OP since you had answered it with your post and he asked again.

 

fer sure

 

Ahhhh


Carry on, nothing to see here......

 

No no , .......I don't aks again. All my questions are solved. :-)

Have a great weekend :-)

 

76 ft lbs is 103 Nm. Sounds a lot for approx. 1/4" bolts ???

 

Nothing worse than a loose shaft.

 

Hmmmm , , not happy with 103 Nm for this bolt.

Sure it's right ?

did you drive the car and notice anything knocking or clunking because of this? I ask because i'm having a problem and now I'm gonna go check my shaft bolts. When I stroke my shaft I did notice that it had some play

 

Hi.

No sounds or knocking so far. ......Car is now stored for the winter, so the bolts will be tighten soon :-) ( 55Nm as far as I can see )

 

When i stroke my shaft i've noticed some play in mine also. I think its normal .

Maybe the last owner had a aluminum driveshaft and installed the factory one when it was sold? Maybe didn't tighten the bolts?
