[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15915978, member: 141815"] That is another story in of itself. As you crush the spacer it actually takes around 300ft-lbs to start this. Now as you get closer to the desired bearing pre-load the torque to turn the locknut drops off. I actually ended up short of the 140ft-lbs by 10 ft-lbs, but to increase to that spec would cause the bearing pre-load to increase. So I'm going to run it at the 130ft-lbs and hope I don't have any issues with it. So far it help up to the dyno tuning with 175mph with 1100+ RWHP with no issues and a 150 or so street miles. I don't have most of the rear interior in the car yet, the rear is all spherical bearings for mounting points and at 70 mph when you shove the clutch in or cruising the rear is as quiet as it was from Ford. The blower whine is the noisiest thing of the car, until you step on the throttle and open the wastegates in the exhaust.......then holy #$&@ does it get loud LOL [/QUOTE]
