HEy! That is handy...thanks.

[Willhelm]

Cool, I wish I could give proper credit.

[daclinz]

ok, still a little confused on what the torque specs are for the rear rubber mounts to the carrier (frame) is that considered the "Shock Absorber"?

I have the Bentley manual .... I guess I looking for the proper name. It doesn't just say, rear mounts to carrier or frame.

I see what you mean, looks like around 20 would be reasonable but I don't want you to be unsafe. I forget what I settled on but it was likely between 20-25.
