How hard shall I tighten the rearcontrol arm bolts on my chevelle 64? I know that I have to tighten them with the car on the wheels.

I torqued mine to 100 lb/ft because that's what the directions to my SSM lift-bar setup I used to run said in the install directions... don't know if it's "right" but I don't think it will be a problem.

The SSM's bolts were pretty loose when I tore it apart last week :eek: but I'm more trusting of the nylock nuts that came with the wolfe arms than the lock washers that came with the SSMs
