Lower Control Arm Bushings
I've been lurking around the site for a couple of months and I'm getting started on the restoration of my 71 c10 shortbed. I'm starting to reassemble the front suspension and have a few questions on the installation of the lower control arms. Ive done some searching and can't seem to find the answers. According to my chassis manual, the lower busings need to be torqued to 280 ft/lbs?? Am I reading this right? The bushing nut is 1 5/8" and I have a 3/4" socket set with that size, but my torque wrench is only 1/2" drive and I don't have a socket that big. Also, my torque wrench only goes up to 200 ft/lbs. These are new bushings. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get this back together?
Thanks! Rick Last edited by rcatalano; 12-20-2006 at 03:02 PM. |
