After digging for a few days, I compressed about 10 websites into 2 pages.

Bear in mind, these are off the web so take them as they come. If you see something wrong let me know, hope they help.

One caution, newer TJs require a lower 45 ft-lb. torque setting for the front trackbar mounting bolt at the frame-end. The above referenced chart says 55 ft-lbs. which is correct for older TJs like mine but it makes no mention of the 45 ft-lb. specification I believe is true for newer TJs. I don't know what year it switched from 55 to 45 ft-lbs. but at least one member reported that they snapped that bolt on their newer TJ when they torqued it to 55 ft-lbs.

Searched those tables for a reference to THIS fastener (see attached).

I'm installing a SkidRow steering box skid and their instructions say to be sure to hit that circled bolt (they call it the "steering box bolt") to the factory recommended torque.

It's a long bolt, going thru that welded "wart" on the frame that holds the steering box in place. It's so long that I imagine the torque is not too high.

I'm just gonna get it real snug, but was wondering if somebody has some insight into the actual torque spec ... the top of the fastener has the following text on it's top:

\ | | /
+ SFT +​

there are 4 lines radiating out above the letters, and a single bar kinda' underlining the SFT.

Leave it to me to find the ONE fastener that isn't listed on this otherwise FANTASTIC collection of data.

Thanks!

Hopefully you've found the answer by now, but just I case someone else needs this spec, it's 70 ft/lbs.

question: this says on the oil pan bolts 84 ft lbs on the 1/4 bolts and 132 ft lbs on the 5/16 bolts... is that right? I can't imagine putting that much torque on that small of a bolt, and I really don't want to have to drill them out if I snap them off. Thanks -Jeff

There are two bolts holding the trackbar in position: one end mounts to a bracket on the Jeep's frame, to other end mounts to a bracket on the axle itself. The "at frame" is the torque specs for the bolt at the frame end of the trackbar, and the "at axle" is the spec for the bolt at the axle end of it. This could also go for the control arms (both upper and lower) and shocks, as all of these components mount the axle to the Jeep's frame.
