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

[Larry Stock]

I'm shooting from my hip on a Sunday night but 65 foot pounds sounds pretty tight for that size nut

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
