Torque what are my wheel lugs supposed to be torqued at? I have a 1990 xj 4.0L with 175 r 15 with stock rims? Can't seem to find the exact spec? Thanks!

Not rly any need to remove them. The anti seize is ok as long as you torque them properly and put a jam nut on each one. Periodically remove the jam nut and check torque pressure.

My manual said 85-110, and I've heard you're supposed to torque all five to 85, then 110. Don't know if that's true, but all the other sources I've seen say 110.

Press out the metal collar on the lower shock mount and press the XJ bar pins in.

There may be a little more to it, but that was the jist of what I read and it seems pretty simple. I would search and read a little more on it though.


Here's a write up on it.
