I am in the process of finishing up the installation of my freshly restored rearend/suspension. I am having issues with the shackles being torqued down. The book calls for 30ft lbs of torque, but when I go to torque them, the bolt snaps. I even lowered the torque to 20 ft lbs and it still snapped. I moved to the other side and got a different torque wrench thinking that one was off and had the same issues. I ordered these shackles through Mancini and plan to call them tomorrow again. This is the second set of shackles I have had this issue with. Is this the wrong torque? Help please, this is getting expensive @ $50 a set!
