Changing shocks on 97 Dodge Ram?
Im changing the rear shocks on a 97 dodge ram due to damage on the passenger side one. My question is, hanes manuals state to use a torque wrench for tightening. I myself do not have one and know of nobody that does. Is this really needed or can I tighten it with a regular wrench? Thanks!
The bolt that holds the shock to it's mounting point would be a grade 3 that can take lots of torque.
If you tighten them with a wrench it is not likely you will break the bolt but depending on the design you may crush the mounting point and that is likely why they have a spec.
Most parts store have tool loan programs for free.
