So I've got 07 GP base 3.8L n/a, L26 due to alignment problems the rear camber is not adjustable and my tires have been wearing down to steel belts on inner side.
Tires Plus suggested camber bolts, which I have done and tried to re-align.... Still no joy. I then found some minor crease dents in RR trailing arm... Now replaced with fully boxed dorman unit.
And I need to verify torque values. I have both Haynes manual and factory service manual and they both seem incomplete.
For example...
To remove the rear trailing arm front bolt you must remove the 3 bracket to body bolts, the arm bolt hits body or subframe and wont come out until you take the body bracket off... neither manual states this.
Haynes 1988 to 2007 GP manual lists "Trailing Arm to body nut/bolt" 2000 and later 40 ft-lbs.
Factory service manual lists "bolt and nut to trailing arm and the trailing arm bracket" to 77 ft-lbs.
It is bolts only, no nuts on the bracket to body. Unless I'm missing it or misunderstanding neither manual lists bracket to body bolt torque.
But they both agree that the arm to knuckle bolts are 177 ft-lbs.
So, i need to verify 5 bolts.... One in front of trailing arm and 3 for the bracket to body.
Then rear arm bolt to knuckle.
Can anyone verify what is correct or incorrect?
I think they are all the same but factory manual shows pictures for a 2005 GP, aren't all 04 - 08 W bodies the same?
Your help is much appreciated!
