'I can't find a value in any of the manuals I have for the torque on the nuts on the AN6 bolts that go through the Ranger engine mount pads to the engine mount itself. What is the general opinion - Should they be just 'Snug' or to the correct torque for an AN310-6 nut? I don't want to crush the rubbers or does the metal tube go all the way through the rubber to prevent crushing?
Thanks a lot

'Frank,
I've never come across a torgue for these bolts. The center metal tube of the shock absorber takes the compression when tightening,not the rubber. I quess all a guy has when tightening these bolts is the "old mechanics" rule.. "Not too tight" "Not too loose". See ya!

'Thank you Tom,
That's what I thought but it is good to get confirmation from those 'In the Know'
Shall we call it 'A firm snug' then!
