'97 sunfire axle nut is 195 ft-lbs. Should be the same for Saturn
Drive shafts, in general, are mechanical components that pass on torque and rotation with the aim of connecting other part of the drive train. These are the parts which can not be directly related to it. They are like the RNA cells in a human body since they also carry something and that is the torque. These car parts are often subjected to torsion, shear stress, and equivalent to the difference between the input torque and the load. Hence, it is but a requirement that they are capable of handling pressures. Anyway, for cars, how it works depend on what drive train a car is running to - rear wheel drive, front wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
the torque mount is usually on the bottom front of the engine and it keeps the engine from shifting to much when switching gears
The 1998 GMC Jimmy front axle shaft torque specification is 60 pounds. You want to make sure that you do not over torque the axle shaft, as you can ruin the axle bearing.
The 2000 Ford Explorer front hub nut has a torque specification of 140 pounds of pressure. The hub should not be over tighten. Over tightening can ruin the seal.
Landrover RAVE manual for Freelander Mk1 gives the following values:- Front disc brakes Front caliper mounting bolts 83 Nm Front disc to drive flange screws 5 Nm Front disc shield to hub screw 8.5 Nm Front caliper guide pin bolts 27 Nm Front caliper brake hose banjo bolt 28 Nm
2003 SATURN L 300 front axle torque spec
The front axle torque specs of a 1999 Saturn is 41 ft lbs. It is the axle shaft support bracket to engine bolts.?æ
front wheel drive
No. They are All Wheel Drive or Front Wheel Drive
The 2001 Forrester front drive axle nut torque specification is 90 pounds. The front drive axle nut should be torqued in 45 pound intervals.
front bearing torque 151 ft lb rear bearing torque 63 ft lb plus 36 degrees
Yes.
A front axle holds the front wheels on and on front-wheel drive vehicles transmits engine torque to the wheels. --Ken
you will probably get a lot of Torque steer
Torque steer is peculiar to front-wheel drive cars reflecting imbalance when power is sent to the front wheels. It causes a shifting sensation, moving the steering wheel to the left or to the right. It isn't a safety issue, rather it is an annoyance, one that automakers are rectifiying by making use of torque vectoring control, what sends braking power to the inner front wheel as needed.
All Saturns produced for sale in the U.S. in 1994 are front wheel drive.
Actually, the fastest front-wheel-drive car is the 2009 Chevrolet Impala SS. 303 front wheel drive ponies at your command, torque steer is a pain though.
