Another 94 Bronco question
I asked a question and got such a great response, I thought I would ask another one. I replaced the radial arm bushings because one was completly shot to hell. Here is the question. How tight do they need to be? Is there a certain tourqe? or do I tighten them as tight as I can????

My Haynes book doesn't state a certain torque that I could find, so I would imagine pretty darn tight, drive for about 100 miles and recheck. Also it states that a new stud and bolt are required on 4wd models because of some adhesive coating on the oem part. If not available it says to clean thoroughly and apply loctite to the threads.

I found some more info about torque on the radius arms. Problem is it depends on which bolts. I then went to autozone.com try this link (click on pix for exploded views and torque settings): http://autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker...3d800a7f09.jsp

OEM specs are between 80-120 ft-lbs. on the nut at the end of the radius arm.
The upper stud/bolt is 240-260 ft-lbs.
The lower bolt is 320-340 ft-lbs.
