How tight for mounting shocks?
I put on a set of Ranchos this weekend but not sure how tight the nuts on the shock head should be. I could squish down on those rubber bushings but I figure that'd be too tight.
I put the nuts on so they seem just about right but there was no installation info about how much tight they really need to be.
Thanks
Mark

I think my Haynes book says 12 ft. lbs., but that seemed too loose for me so I tightened them more. I tightened them until they were tight and backed them off 3/4 turn.
I, too, would like to know how they SHOULD be.
