Cross Member Bolt Torque Spec

[minnickb]

I have a 2000, Z71 with 125K miles.

I recently have noticed a clunk on the right front side, when turning left.

It seems as I turn left while braking, the weight transfers to the front right and... clunk/clank/pop, especially if there is a bump in the road.

I read on some other posts to tighten up the cross member bolts.

Chiltons doesn't give torque spec. It does list the motor mounts as 37 ft-lbs, so I tried that.. it seemed a little light

I cranked them to 50 ft-lbs and it seems to have cured the clunk, but 50 is only a guess.

 

Anyone know what the GM torque spec is for the cross member bolts?

Cross member under the oil pan, not under the tranny.

 

Thanks in advance.

You are close at 50, I am pretty sure it's 70lbft for the crossmember.
