22 Summit Center Shock Lower Bolt Torque?

[Devilmanak]

I can run by the dealer tomorrow and check with a manual, but anyone know for CERTAIN? Center shock lower bolt torque specs? The one that runs from rail to rail. All I could find online was 52lbs, but that was from an XM, and I think they had larger bolts. I cannot see this skinny 8mm taking 52lbs.
We put Expert shocks on Tater's SP today, want it right before we try it.

It's a nut and bolt with a spacer in between the rails, just torque it by feel. As long as you don't strip the threads or tightening it so loosely it falls off you're fine!
Otherwise, if you really want a number, the standard torque for a 8.8 M8 bolt should be a Googling away.

You will however need a puller for the bearing/wheel outside of the shock on the spacer. One of the wheels needs to come off to change the shock and it's pressed on, not locket by a locking ring.

I've ran mine at way less than 52ft/lbs and never had any issues

Disagree. Several of us broke these last year out of the box, just from pounding bumps hard. I have changed them out before, just forgot what the torque was. It is a 12" long bolt that supports all of the damping and spring forces from the center shock. The torque spec matters.

Thanks, but that is for the XM sled. MUCH bigger bolt. I got the spec from the dealer. 24 lbs.
