Cam bolt torque

[Bulldog]

I just found you guys at the right time, I'm redoing the front suspension on my 68 'cuda fastback and I can't find the torque for the cam bolts anywhere in the book or I'm blind. Anywho does anyone know them thanks.

If your referring to the 4 upper A-Arm nuts and bolts (3/4" socket, 1/2" fine thread) they are 65 ft. lbs.

Hope this helps. :thumbup:

funny, thats what I have been working on all weekend. upper control arms for my 68 Barracuda FB. Anyone got any tricks for getting the old cam bolts out. I twisted the nuts off of all 4 of them. One side, I got one to drive out and i had to torch the other out. I am over to the other side now and I can't get either of them to drive out. The problem with the torch is the rubber starts burning and I don't want to blister the new paint.

I read in a suspension and steering text book, they use air impact
hammer. and if the control arm bushing stuck, air hammer with cutter.
