2wd Twin I-Beam Torque Specs?

Doing the bushings on the front end of my '99 2wd again - and have misplaced the notes I had with torque specs for the front end.

Would anyone happen to know the torque specs for the twin I-beam and the radius arms?

(I have the rest from the ball joint thread.)

Thanks in advance for anyone who has this information.

cant help ya, bud, but could help a few of us out, with our 2wd, when were ready to do this project. If you dont mind, post up the torque specs on what all your doin. I need to roll up PartsGuyEd( prayers with ya man), for my bushing kit.

Good post I couldn't find that info in my book. Can you leave the radius arm to axle together can pull the back down to replace the bushing without taking it out. I need to change mine ! I was thinking of using my ball joint tool. Big C clap with drivers and I also use old bearing races to get the right size. But I haven't ever done these bushings. Need to get caster.

I really have no idea. Never worked on a 2WD.

Here's a torque spec I left out in case it is needed.

i would recommended taking the big bolt out first
2 nuts on top i believe are 1 1/16" one hold the spring in place the other holds the radius arm
i have a feeling that radius arm will not get enough swing with it attached to the ibeam still

let us know how u make out
