Power steering to frame torque

[YNOTBOB2007]

I'm adding lock washers and loctite to the 3 bolts at the power steering box to frame (to try to prevent them loosening over time). Does anyonw know the torque? Thanks.

if your having loosening issues you really need to inspect the sleeves inside the frame the oe ones just angle that are tack welded in place at the three bolt locations, they can rust rot out and not do there job ,, they can be replaced with DOM tubing if need be ,,,, , also inspect the frame for cracks,, , as to torque 55-70 65 ft ibs seems to ring a bell ,,

Having just done this, my shop manual had about the same range, I went with 65 ft lbs...

I knocked mine out years ago and made some 1/4 wall DOM sleeves to replace the stock angle. Welded place on both sides of the frame and welded up 2 frame cracks. I highly recommend inspecting the frame for cracks.
