Last year I got one of those Moog high-density rubber, problem solving kits, that seemed to be made of unobtainium.... damn thing came with no instructions on the torque values. In fear of destroying them I'm warning you reset the ride height on my car after doing the lower control arm bushings and those particular strut rod bushing I know I'm not supposed to fight anything down completely, until final ride heights achieved, but I have no way of knowing what completely tight is with that product.. the washers were marked and I did research that on this forum and came up with results that match that but I have no idea what the torque values would be I know it's 45 for the front 110 at the LCA for Factory rubbers for a 74 Duster.....I've tried to get that info off the web, no luck.
Thanks!
 

From what I can find, 50 LBFT. Watch the bushings and make sure they don't distort too much. They're going to a little.
 
I forget....what's your car again? The avatar Duster?
My old Avatar was that car, (before I put the stripes on it, my very first attempt, for a Friend and Brother's memorial)with my 340 and a 727 hanging from a crane, getting ready to drop her in, without removing the power booster. And using a trick a came up with for B bodies. Drop the headers in and wire them up outta the way... we had fun. 3 of us. Then I realized the 8-quart pan required skillfully hacking K member with an angle grinder ..more fun. I was not taking her back out... also the great fun of damnable polyurethane motor mounts... that did not fit at all! had to be ground down, Grr. I forget what all we had to do to it but it was a pain in the ***. I called up Energy, and they sent me the one that matched the other side, (would have been perfect, but I was already done)they told me their Engineers had that perfect and the one that would not have worked should have been perfect for my application. When I built that motor in 2010( to put it in my 66 satellite )you guys all helped me do it , whether Y'all realize it or not
So Thanks again, Fabo!
