    Default Suspension Torque Values

    Hi guys, what are the recommended torque values for the 5/16, 7/16, etc. AN bolts (through the rod ends), used for the F/R Upper and Lower A arms, Push rod, etc? DP-08.

    Thanks!

    use jetnuts and the proper washers and just make 'em reasonably tight and they'll never loosen - at least I've never had one loosen in the 20+ years I've had my car.

    CV bolts - now that's a different story.

    There's a great smartphone (iOS at least—I can't say about Android) called "iEngineer".

    http://iengineerapp.com

    It's got dry and lubricated torque values for... ...practically everything in both "US" and metric bolts.

    It's free for the inch data, but spend the $2.99 (three bucks!) and reward the developers for creating this.
