208 front output help *urgent!*

[jk3078]

Whats the torque spec for the front out put on a 208? I was getting my truggy ready to go to the races, leaving in two hours, and noticed about 1/2'' of slop in and out so I'm hopeing I can tighten the nut down and solve this problem. Thanks

I want to say that that sort of thing is usually around 150 ft/lbs or so, I'm not sure. I'd just get it as tight as you can, maybe throw some loctite on it if you're really worried. I don't usually worry about torque values too much, I believe I usually have an idea of an appropriate amount of torque to give things depending on the application, but it kinda comes with experience. Motors, on the other hand, are another story.

Thanks, I tried to tighten it down and it would not budge so I guess I looking for a new t-case.

Just think of it as extra slip.
