[QUOTE="SPORT, post: 433344, member: 6195"] To a T? Well, uhh, not exactly. I think after 10 years of working on airplanes and my own mechanical toys, the process is pretty straight forward. Torque to 35ft lbs then back off to 14ft lbs. My experience taught me to not fight over the 2-3 ft lbs (if that) difference it makes whether the potential flub/angle points are all covered or not. Broke? Holy crap I hope not! That could end in a tragedy...and I hate tragedies. The steering moves with relative ease when lifted and does not bind. I can only reproduce the 'knock' when coming to an abrupt stop. I can not reproduce the sound/feeling when on a center stand. I guess I'm asking two things. 1) is it possible that bearing seats were never set properly? 2) Is it possible to bottom out on the threads resulting in a false torque setting? If so, what's the resolve; spacers? Thanks for the insights [/QUOTE]
