just found out my torque wrench(one of three, but the one i trusted) is off. it reads 22ft/lbs when it really is 29ft/lbs. it reads 20 ft/lbs when it is really 22ft/lbs. i have used this to do suspension stuff. most recently the asr with itr sway i finished last night. no engine or brake stuff.

question: is 2-7 ft/lbs. going to make a big difference on suspension. am i paranoid. is **** going to break.

 

i just use a gun or torque it on.

 

? or ?

 

just get ur wrench recalibrated

 

screw the wrench. what about the car?

 

nah it should be good

 

anyone else. how bout some of the engineer geeks?

 

For suspension work, the level of inaccuracy you're describing should not pose a problem.

 

9 ftlbs doesn't mean **** for suspension. can't really be to tight, just as long as its not to loose. most ppl don't even use torque wrenchs for suspension anyway, your fine

 

it wont create a problem bro. its fine.

 

thank you. i can relax now. my friends think i am too picky about everything. i just want it done right. it bothers me if i do something incorrectly if i feel i know how to do it correctly. thanks again everyone.
