Frame Rail

[tfie93]

I recently removed a frame rail from my Duster. The other one is in place but not fully bolted up or welded yet. I was wondering. Do I need to torque the K-frame bolts or would an impact wrench work well enough?
Thanks for any help, Tom

impact is fine to tighten obviously....do you have a torque wrench...if not run them up with a impact and tighten by hand....

Someone here posted a torque spec. for those 4 bolts once. It's not found in the service manuals I have. All impacts are not created equal either. If you have a quality impact like Mac or SnapOn you'll get them tight enough.
A worn out GP may not.
