Anyone know what the torque specs are for the rear control arms mounting bolts on a 1969 Chevelle ? I can't seem to find this info anywhere. Someone told me 70 ft. lbs. Is that correct ?

Thanks for the reply. I am replacing the bushings with polyurethane bushings, will this change the torque specs on the mounting bolts ?
