[QUOTE="MTF, post: 1460736, member: 499"] I don't consider the bottom shock bolt as critical, control arm bolts, ball joints, tie rod end bolts, Yes. The impact gun does up to 400 ft-lbs. and I was able to get almost a 1/4 turn after it was torqued to 425 ft-lbs. I'd say that's within +/- 3 to 4% accuracy. A cheap torque wrench has the same accuracy rating. Considering the bolt spec is 406 ft-lbs. I'm going to turn 60 years old and it's getting harder to work on my vehicles. Strange how fast your body tells you, you had enough. It started going down hill two years ago. The only thing I will do on the Raptor is oil and filter and general maintenance. I have about $12,000 (1970 to 1990 prices. LOL) in tools laying around in my garage, I use maybe a tenth of them now a days. I will be retiring in two years moving the **** out of NYC and getting a condo. My future son-in-law will be getting all my stuff. Luckily I can pay someone else to do the work. [/QUOTE]
