what grease to use on front wishbone mounts when fitting spacer washers?

What torques on re-assembly - can old lock nuts be used?

There is a list of torque settings on this thread. I just tighten mine nothing too specific. Copper slip will be fine and your stiffnuts should be ok but obviously new would be better.

I would concurr with Carsy, coppaslip grease and torque as per the great info on the link. By the way, I always use new bolts, nuts washers etc whenever I do any job, for such a small cost it is worth it every time. If not the bolts always replace the nyloc nut. Regards, Pete

Hi lone granger

I did see today that sc power sell the nylocks for very little money. Also did notice they have a special on! Full set of wishbones for 500 pds, thought that was quite good.
