    Rear Spring center Bolt

    I just put my spring together. Is there a rule of thumb on what to torque it at? Thank you, Jeff.

    It's really pretty unimportant as this bolt has little practical effect after the spring is installed in the car. However, I'd use about 15-20 lb/ft.

      Jeff, I find that the center bolt will loosen once the spring plate is installed and torqued after sitting on the ground.
