Settling of the rear spring
To install the rear spring on my '29 Tudor, I just put the rear spring "anti-squeek" material on top of my rear spring and synched everything down real good. I don't know the torque I used, but I did it by feel, where things felt "tight". That was two days ago. Then yesterday, I re-torqued the bolts and noticed they didn't seem tight like they did the day before - and I re-torqued them to "tight". So, today, I did the same -- I re-torqued the bolts, again. I don't think it's my imagination, but I think the anti-squeek material is settling, to where I need to take my time to let it settle completely before I stop tightening and put the cotter keys in. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
