Panhard torque spec ?

Turns out I could turn the upper nut on the panhard rod by hand !!!! (Thought I checked the obvious stuff first !)

Does somebody have the torque spec for the panhard bolts handy ?

Back is 130 at frame and 181 at axle end.

Edit:
Front is 127 at axle and frame end

check to make sure the bracket did not get ovalled aka wallered out

Panhards and lift

I need to get an answer about panhards and my truck. Here's the details of my lift: 850J?863J springs, L shocks, Slee castor correction brackets, sway bar drops around 2-2.5" spacer on front springs. IT amounts to about 5" lift. I have a lot of shake in the front. My steering box is...

I have done dozens of them with a regular 1/2" drive torque wrench. Does take a little body English when the rig is stock height!

"To count an Ugga Dugga one must be wearing a ball cap backwards, have at least one busted knuckle, a beer in reach. Then as you squeeze the trigger of your impact gun, you count off like so, "One Ugga Dugga, Two Ugga Dugga, Three Ugga Dugga..etc" Don't forget the southern, redneck drawl or to spit the juice from your oral tobacco products, or else your Ugga Duggas will not be sufficient."

wtf are you making me read
