yes, i am talking factory, 2-piece arms.

I would guess around 30-40 lb-ft, since they are what, 13mm?

Assume you're talking about OEM and where shims are inserted, 20 ft # rings in my head. They are nylon lock nuts too, no?

I also found a reference to 20 lb-ft. Truth is, there's no way to get a torque wrench in there.

Mine are not lock nuts. I plan to add blue loctite after we finalize the alignment and shims. I have about a 0.3" shim in there now.

So i have two references to 20 lb-ft; plus that sounds about right. Typically one does not apply big numbers to a 13 mm nut, especially when bolting alloy together.

Thanks!

A guy starts a company and is interviewing people for the accountant's position. Calls in the first person and says, "I have one question for you: how much is 2+2?" The person answers, "Four." The guy calls in another prospect, and says, "How much is 2+2?" This person also answers, "Four." The guy calls in another person and asks, "How much is 2+2?" This person answers, "How much do you want it to be?" and the guy says, "You're hired!"

Also, do you know the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care.
