Mojave Front Shock Torque

[Rduffy6]

Hey I was looking for the torque spec for the 2.5” fox shocks on the front of the Mojave. I looked in torque database drive here where all the torque specs are listed but only found info for the regular gladiators with the smaller 18mm bolt. Does anyone know what they are for the Mojave’s 21MM bolt, top and bottom? Thanks

The Service manual makes no distinction on models on these.

Thanks! Is that right out of the service manual? Those specs make more sense to me. This is what I found on the torque drive database that we have on the forum which showed 52 ftlbs plus 55 degrees. Unless that’s for something else?

Attached is the front suspension torque tables from the MOPAR Tech Authority.

It line items out separate the upper shock bolt torque to 96 ft-lbs for the Mojave. It makes no separate distinction for the lower, so it probably remains 77 ft-lbs.

The tables are from a service manual for a 2020.
The other screenshot was from a 2023 Service Manual, which did have Mojave specific values in other places.

You will often see initial torque plus degrees in the Service Manuals.
They allow for using lower valued torque wrenches and for using more leverage with breaker bars or even impact wrenches.
I use them whenever possible, because hernias hurt.

I think you'll be fine with either.
