2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Pivot Bar bolts

[SHobbs]

Will be doing the ball joints soon and while I am there the upper control arm bushings will get replaced as well. I can't find the torque spec. for the bolts that hold the pivot bar in place. Anyone know what they should be torqued to?



Thanks, Scott

Ed,



Thanks for the info. That helps a lot.





Nate,



The pivot bar is between the upper control arm bolts. The pivot bar is what holds the upper control arm to the frame. It's what they use to align the front end.
