Yes just the front set of two each side as i have the shock mount ones.

I thought it would be in the 30's and it seems two experienced members have different amounts and finger tight seems a little bit low compared to others around the beam areas.

Edit sorry misread the Nm bit lol. I dont want to tighten them too lightly that they snap!!

Cheers.

Haha, I'm pretty sure Jim meant FT as in f**king tight!

I was just making a joke that it could also mean finger tight Wink

Oh right i see, well as said i didnt want to do it too tightly and snap the bolts.

Ill torque them up as WP states, it seems funny my haynes says note about them, only the pivot bolts as bet they thought no one in their right mind would take the mounting out lol.

I have always tightened to 45Nm without issue.

When anyone buys an axle, I give them all the necessary torque settings
