Will Shackle Bolts for Leaf Spring Need to Be Retorqued After So Many Miles
Published 10/10/2014
Question:
Once you have installed and torqued the bolts to spec is there a need to re-torque after so many miles? More than once?

When leaf springs like the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring, # e27SR, are installed with locknuts and shackle bolts that are torqued properly, you should not have a problem with the bolts backing out. Of course, checking on them every so often wouldn't hurt anything.
