Lower control arm installation

[lenguini]

Greetings all,I need some advise as to where the lower control arm should be postioned when replacing.Should the shaft on the arm be centered with an equal distance from either u bolt to the end of the shaft,or should there be an offset ???? Id sure appreciate the help.

Thanks ahead of time.

The shaft is centered by a round notch in the shaft which registers with a small hump in one of the u-bolt saddles.

if you go to this link http://ridetechtv.com/2011/03/chevy-...l-part-4-of-5/ and watch the video or you can skip to around 1:40 on scroll bar and it will show you the locator dowel pin notch in lower a-arm......

Does anyone have torque specs for the upper and ,lower control arm shaft nuts,lower control arm ubolt nuts and upper lower ball joint nuts?

I suppose I could just buy a manual,but that would be to easy !!

According to the directions that came with the Moog shaft kit: Torque bushings to 100 foot pounds and make sure that the distance from each shaft shoulder to control arm inner surface is equal.

I am sorry to resurrect a really old thread but I replacing the lower control arm bushings on a 64 c10. I have the bushings installed and torqued and the shaft centered. The manual that I have shows that the distance from the flange on the control arm to the step in the shaft should be 3/4”. Mine are not that close and I have not seen that number anywhere else. Does it matter or just that it is centered? Thank you.
