body mount install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How tight do you get the body mount bolts. At first I torqued them down until they clamped down on the metal sleeve on the inside. But then the lower rubber just seemed bulged too much. It was bulged all the way out and looked like it would almost split. I loosened them up so the rubber is just slightly bulged and have been driving it like that. Thinking about it a little more I fell that unless I tighten it up against the sleeve or something the body is just kind of floating on there. Maybe thats the way its supposed to be? Anyone have any insight for me, and maybe a torque value?
