carnut500 Report post Posted October 18, 2019 I have 2010 Itasca Suncruiser 35P with W22 chassis. I have a roadmaster steering stabilizer to install but I have to remove nuts from one of the U bolts that hold the axle to the springs. I heard that the torque on those bolts is over 400 ft lbs. Does anyone know exact torque value? Any way I can get service manual for workhorse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Frankly I doubt it is that high. Case in point the lug nuts on your coach maybe 1 1/2 inch and special studs about 3/4 to 7/8 of an inch in diameter. Typical torques 400+. is the U bolt any where near that size.... Easy enough to discover call Roadmaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carnut500 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Roadmaster instructions say this "Re- place the factory nuts and torque them to the manufacturer's recommendations." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know exact torque value? Any way I can get service manual for workhorse? Currently looking at a Workhorse chassis manual, looking for the front "U" bolt torque level requirement. Large manual - taking longer then anticipated. Think This link will give you the proper bolt torque levels for the Roadmaster Chassis. https://www.roadmasterinc.com/pdfinst/1259-108.pdf Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 I would think new nuts would be required and I would be surprised if it calls for more than 150 ft pounds of torque. What does Roadmaster have to say? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickandlois Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Bill, The Road master specifications in the link above cover the torque specs for the different bolts used installing the kit. Rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What does Roadmaster have to say? Bill Right! ALL axle "U" bolt nuts(these are special long nuts) must be replaced with new upon re-assembly. https://www.autoandtrucksprings.com/recommended-u-bolt-torque Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carnut500 Report post Posted October 22, 2019 They are 5/8 bolts and after seeing the chart, I agree maybe 175 ft lb max. I'll order new bolts tomorrow. Thanks everyone for feedback! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
