steering idler link question

[mikea]

just putting my steering together.

any help appreciated.

1. castle nut on top of idler bolt- what is torque value to tighten this?

2. I have tightened it so far what seems right-

QUESTION: should the silver washer turn with the idler bolt?

it now does not. when I move the idler link, the castle nut turns

on top of the steel washer. Is that the way that this should function?

or should the silver washer be turning with the nut?

thanks

torque value is listed in the faq reference section. that page should be printed and posted on everyones shop wall.....

[mikea]

you're right- i should have looked there.

torqued it up more, and now the washer turns together

seems correct

thanks
