Anyone know the torque specs on the idler arm and Pitman Arm for my 76 duster?


Thanks

I'm pretty sure the pitman arm is 125 ft lbs. I just installed mine. I can double check it tomorrow though.

I stand corrected, its a bitch to get old,,,,you get CRS  (can't remember sh**)  According to my shop manual, the Idler Arm nut to the center link is 70 ft lbs and the nut that holds the pitman arm to the box is 175 ft lbs. I believe the pitman arm to the center link is also 70 ft lbs.

Thanks a million.

Now that I have the correct torque for my front end, I have no worries about steering (unless the front wheels aren't touching the pavement!!!  HA HA!!).

Thanks Again
