Rear Negative Camber Tire Wear Issue

Yeah 7 ft-lbs shouldnt be a big deal either way.  Good luck!

And yes, you need to get an alignment for sure after that.  As mentioned already here, camber changes come with toe changes with these multilink rears.

thanks again!...that will be the plan

Chiming in cause I read someone say "7 foot pounds of torque" and I knew that had to be wrong for any kind of suspension component... it is suggested to replace these nuts if you remove them but... it's probably fine.

The inner and outer lateral link nut torque is 80nm/59ft-lbs

The swaybar endlink nut torque is 33nm/24.3ft-lb

The strut nut torque is 120nm/88.5ft-lb

Reading comprehension. The 7 ft pounds was referring to the difference between 2 specs that he came across for the same suspension bolt. 🤪

SPC as well are the same with rubber bushings. SPC is what I put in my Forester way back. 

I have the worst luck.  The time I was looking, SPC was making these arms with what they called the X-axis sealed joint which was a sort of spherical joint.  Whiteline used a bushing, but poly.  I prefered a bushing so went Whiteline.

I had to look at the SPC arms to see what they were calling that joint and I just saw they are about the same price as the Moogs at around $150.

I comprehended it just fine bud.  they mentioned whitelines spec and haynes spec... whitelines spec says to refer to the factory service manual so... I did.

haynes says:

rear lateral link-to-knucle bolt/nut: 59ft*lb (80N*m)

stabalizer bar link bolt/nut:24ft*lb (33N*m)

shock absorber lower mounting bolt/nut: 88ft*lb (120N*m)

inner lateral link bolt/nut: does not say

whiteline directions says:

step 8. Tighten all points and end link bolts to OE torque spec.

step 10. Once the desired alignment has been achieved tighten both the inner and outer bolt/nuts to 50ft*lb (68N*m).

silverton from the factory manual says:

The inner and outer lateral link nut torque is 80nm/59ft-lbs

The swaybar endlink nut torque is 33nm/24.3ft-lb

The strut nut torque is 120nm/88.5ft-lb

 

so i guess my question is according to the whiteline directions i tighten everything to OEM torque specs then i adjust the camber on the outer lateral link bolt/nut and then i torque that bolt/nut to 50ft*lb after i already torqued it to 59 ft*lb???

Why not refer to the actual FSM?

That's where my torque specifications are from, I do find it odd they tell you to use all OE spec and then say 'wait nevermind'
