RR4R chassis torque spec for shocks

[JHSJMS]

I am replacing my shocks on a Roadmaster RR4R chassis and am trying to locate the torque spec for both front and rear. The OEM bolts are 3/4" grade 8. A standard fastener torque chart for this size bolt lists 380ftlbs. That seems very excessive for this application. I don't believe that was the original torque, they did not take much force to remove. Could anyone help with the spec? Thanks

sounds right to me or just as tight as you can get them. ck your work later and often.

When I replaced mine I used blue locktite and tightened them all I could. When I removed the factory installed shocks it was all I could do to remove them so I figured all I could do would be similar in torque.

If you have your coach number handy when you call Monaco it will make it easier for them to find the information. We are surely lucky as orphaned coaches to still have such support from Monaco, now twice removed from the company that built our coaches (Monaco Coach Corp).

A bolt which requires a 3/4" socket/wrench will have a 1/2" diameter shaft which calls for 100 ft/lbs torque for a grade 8.

Google the internet "torque spec rating for 3/4 inch bolts (1 1/8 head)...
