trailing arm through bolts need washers??

Post by 535is-pa »

so i have a crazy pile of hardware 2 cars rear suspension hardware and huge pile of other junk. i just dont rember what goes where. realoem.com shows the trailing arm bushing through bolt without washers. but it seems that it should have them. i had theise bolts loosen up on me when i swaped in my non abs trailing arms last month, i just want to make shur that dosnt happen again.



bently specs theise bolts torque at like 49 or 127 lbs?? its kinda vague. saying like trailing arm link or something.

max's site shows no washer either so no washer, unless you want to use up some of your extra parts. the center of the bushing is a steel cylinder so no compression of the rubber or whatever you would think would need a washer.
