Torque values for trailing arms and U-bolts

Hey guys,

I am redoing the suspension on my '68 and have pulled the everything from the rear. I searched this forum and the FAQ and did not find the torque values I needed. Does anyone have this info? I need the values for,

Trailing arm bushing mounting bolt (big one that connect trailing arm to frame)
U-bolts for holding the axle to the arms

Thanks a bunch!

Re: Torque values for trailing arms and U-bolts

I dont know, first. I have seen charts for fastener sizes and the torque they should be tightened. It was general info, maybe search for it?

Re: Torque values for trailing arms and U-bolts

Get them tight as you can then turn them another half a turn. Drive it for a couple of days and tighten them again.
