9/16 ubolts should be around 150 ftlbs.

Actual spec is: Spring plate nut torque, 186 ftlbs

And retorque them too. I just changed out my front ones and have checked them twice. The first time they were fairly loose, second time not really. I think it's because the front ones are semi round and the ubolts didn't match exactly though. But I would still recheck them.
