My XLR/V(s):
2004xlr
Default Rims&spec

Can anyone help me I'm looking for the torque specs to install my new sway bar? Also can't get any real answer about rim size. I'm looking to put vette wheels on 18/8.5 with 46offset and 19/10 with 65offset. Also found 18/9.5 with 58offset and 19/10 with 68offset. Any knowledgeable help and advice would be appreciated thanks love the forum!

Torque specs

Stabilizer shaft insulator clamp nuts- 70 lbs ft.

Stabilzer shaft link nuts- 56 lbs ft.

More detailed info and great pictures are on the thread "Rear Swaybar Parts List '04-'09" These specs are from post #62 on that thread. I encourage you to check it all out. Any info coming from Cadillac Tech (Bruce) is as good as it gets......,

Steve
