Walrod bushings

I have just installed the bushings in the control rams and need to refit them to the car. What are the torque values for all the nuts and bolts? I really do not want to over- or undertighten them. Thanks!

Per Darin at FD:

The caster eccentric bolt- 59 ftlb.

The nut on the small bushing side- 63 ftlb.

The bolt on the large bushing side- 77 ftlb.

Let's not be so hard on these guys that are not effective searchers. I learn about these cars by seeing what others are dealing with.

I typically use 40ft/lbs on the caster eccentric and 75 ft/lbs on the caster mounting stud.

Otherwise, 75ft/lbs on the long control arm forward bolt and 60ft/lbs on the aft bolt.
