Not sure if this info is available elsewhere on the site or if it should be posted elsewhere. Suppose that's why we have the newbie forum.
Anyway, wondering if anyone can tell me the proper torque specs for 69 cutlass rear control arms. Can't seem to find it in any of the books that I used when putting the front suspension together.

 

Per chassis service manual:
"torque nuts to 80 ft lbs. with car resting at normal carrying height."

 

Thanks MX442. I'm swapping rear ends from two 69's. I put the rear end in the parts car already. Went in easier than I had anticipated. As luck would have it I went with 80 ft/lbs. figuring it didn't really matter if it was off a bit since I have no intention of driving it out of the driveway. Glad to know I won't have any regrets and feel the need to go back and correct it. And I'll feel better when I do the "good" car in the next week or so knowing that this is the correct torque.
Thanks again. Your car looks sweet! That's the blue my car is supposed to be but someone painted it smurf blue
