Hi all,
I have a question in relation to tightening up the k-frame specifically the Control Rod nut, Upper Control Arm Retaining bolts, the Lower Control Arm nut & bolt and the Outrigger nut & bolt.
I have just had all the rubbers and bushes replaced in the k-frame, re-installed it, engine & gear box in and now need to torque up all of these nuts and bolts. I was told that the car had to be on the ground so all the suspension components were at operating position before tightening these nuts and bolts.
Do I need to use a torque wrench at specific settings for each of these locations, or do people normally go by feel / visual squish on the rubbers?
The Max Ellery repair manual I have has torque values for each location, but I don't have a torque wrench and curious if you guys are generally using the actual specified torque values?
Cheers,
Brent
