Re: torque specs for u bolts on lower control arms

I know I am digging up an old thread but I just need to clarify that 215lb-ft is not the correct torque for these! If you don't know what it is why even post what you think it is???

For 9/16 lower control arm u bolt torque specs is 75lbs/ft, right from ECE!
