Can anyone check their FSM for 73-76 A body ball joint torque specs?
I only have earlier FSM's and they say 55ft.lbs. for the small ball joint.
I have the large ball joint and cant find a torque spec. Appreciate it and
Thanks

I found this online,
LCA pivot stud= 140ft.lbs. Strut rod rear = 105ft.lbs. front = 55ft.lbs. Tie rods = 40-45 ft.lbs. Lower ball joint to spindle = 120-125 ft.lbs. Idler arm thru bolt = 65ft.lbs. Upper ball joint to UCA = 125ft.lbs. min. Upper & lower ball joints to spindle = 65-75 ft.lbs.
 
Tight af and then a little more. Blue locktite.
