Control Arm Torque

[Bronco_46256]

I need to replace the C Bushings and the rear bushings on my stock '68 control arms. What torque do I need to put these back together with?? Any things I need to look out for when making the change?

Thanks

Chris

The factory torque spec for the rear of the radius arms is 80-120 ft-lbs. I went with the 120. The bolts up front at the axle torque at 90-110. The big things to remember is to install the C bushings correctly (they should be marked, Dont hesitate to call and ask them if you arent sure, because this is critical to get the correct caster). The second is to be sure you get your radius arms exactly parallel. If you dont, your bronco will lean. Lean wont hurt anything, just really detracts from the look of it. Heres an article on how to correct the lean and be sure you get the arms parallel.

That should be about all you need. If you run in to something call the vendor's tech support or just post on here. These guys will get you straightened out.
