Hi, Just finished adding a Pro comp Leaf to my rear end. But after install I just could not get the u-bolt nuts to be equal......See pics. I torqued them to 75 ft pounds. But after looking some are tightened more than others.

Is this a problem?

 

I guess the question would be are the two sides of each ubolt perfectly equal? And are the two ubolts exactly the same? I think it looks fine - just recheck your torque after some driving.

 

Torque. Drive 100 miles. Retorque.

Looks fine.

 

ok cool. I have never worked on trucks before. I am a honda tech and have done any and everything you can think of to hondas. But none have straight axles or leaf springs. I was just OCDin.

The u bolt were identical. Everything went to getter great. I repainted everything and cleaned everything.

Today Iam doing the front. It is 2wd so I got ball joint spacers and sway away torsion bars. Also got my black wheels and tires.

Been takin pics and will be posting a build thread.

Thanks for the info.

 

Welcome to YotaTech, geeq!

I learned most of my backyard maintenance skills on my 4Runner but now I have a 94 Accord that I work on alot too. Planning to do the oil pan gasket this weekend, in fact. Glad to have another Honda guy around!

 

Yeah that looks fine


That's a mighty clean undercarriage too! Any more pics of said truck?

 

Made a build thread....check it out.
