Lower Control Arm Shaft Nuts

I found the torque specs for the upper control arm shaft nuts on my C10 Chevy but my manual doesn't give the specs for the lower control arm shaft nuts. If anyone has that info I would really appreciate you sharing it with me.

Re: Lower Control Arm Shaft Nuts

The lower control arm bushings are torqued to 160 lb./ft. (new) or 95 lb./ft. (replace) per the overhaul manual.

Re: Lower Control Arm Shaft Nuts

Thanks for the info, now I can get on with my front end replacement. When you say replace does that mean just puting a new nut on the existing shaft? I'm putting new shafts and nuts so I assume the "new" torquee spec applies.
