[DeTomaso] Rear Suspension Lower Support Shaft Torque - 95 ft. lbs. !?

[Mike & Elizabeth]

Assembling my rear suspension and when I checked the assembly instructions
in the technical manuals for the lower support shaft it indicated 95 ft.
lbs. for the bolts at either end of the shaft.

 

I have one of Byars greaseable support shaft assemblies, very similar to
what Larry Stock sells, and I don't recall if the torque specs  for that are
any different.  95 ft. lbs. seems like a lot of twist.

 

Larry, et al, what say you?

 

Thanks

Mike Thomas
