Factory Torque Settings for Front and Rear Shocks

[Scott-Tx]

I am installing King front and rear shocks tomorrow and when reading thru the instructions provided from King it reads to tighten upper and lower bolts and torque to factory specs. I cannot find anywhere that tells the factory torque specs for front and rear shocks, can anyone help me with this?

Some information is here (INEOS recommended torque settings). Scroll down towards the end of the post, under the heading SUSPENSION AND STEERING TORQUE SETTINGS. Not sure we have all the settings however.

I had looked in this file and did not see anything for shocks, I appreciate the response just don’t believe they are listed here

I have a suspicion they are in points 1 to 5, which were not posted. Sorry that is all remember seeing.

You may need to start at general shock torque settings, or ask the KINGS dealer:

What are the torque specifications on the top nut of my shocks?

Take a look at our torque specifications to ensure proper installation.

M14 x 1.5 10.9 Plated bolts have a torque listed 158Nm? ( not from Ineos) this is what I did. Going by how tight they were to remove I would say this is still under original install spec.
Only did mine last week and rechecked today after 126 miles all good.

Hey Scott,

I just called my local Ineos Dealer and they looked it up in their Ineos portal and informed me that the torque spec for all 4 shocks (upper and lower bolt) was 275NM, which equates to about 202 ft lbs. Seems really high to me but I guess these rigs are designed to be hammered offroad Hopefully this is helpful to everyone!

202 ft lbs is insanely high.
