Control Arm Torque Specs

[Tooth Fairy]

Just finishing up here tonight and curious if anyone knows the torque specs for the front control arm mounting bolts. I don't remember where I found it last time and search was an exercise in futility.


Thanks in advance.

I see the following in the FSM for a '97:

Lateral control rod to frame: 127 ft-lbs
Lateral control rod to axle houseing: 127 ft-lbs
Leading arm to frame: 130 ft-lbs
Leading arm to axle houseing: 127 ft-lbs

Not sure which you were looking for since there is nothing called a "front control arm" in the suspension parts list for the '97 LC.

Thanks a ton Scamper! I'm glad somebody had the info out there.

I think that's about where I was on mine, but, this last one wasn't mine so I'd rather be more accurate.
