pmetz1967 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Can anyone inform me what the Bolt Torque specs are for the upper torque strut to mount/bracket "dogbone", and the four mount bolts to the radiator support? I own a 97 Pontiac Grand Prix GT N/A Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carkhz316 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I know this isn't the answer, but torquing isn't absolutely necessary. I never torque them, just tighten them til it's good and tight. I'm sure others do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiBlackSheep Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I broke my left one (passenger side) going too tight. I would think around 50ft/lb is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 i didn't think there would be an actual torque spec, but alldata is saying 19 ft/lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertISaar Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 that's what it says. the engine side bracket is set for 35 ft/lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklovin93 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 that bracket is a pain in the ass, one of the bolts i couldnt get to unless i ripped off the throttle body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmetz1967 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ok. I got these numbers from a tech I know but he wasn't 100% sure: Torque Values Engine Mount Bracket Bolts - 75 lb-ft Engine Mount Nuts - 35 lb-ft I'm confused on which is which. Are the Engine Mount Bracket Bolts the four through bolts for the dogbone struts? And the Engine mount must be what is bolted onto our radiator support that the dogbones connect to.
