Torque Specs?

[Stormbringer1835]

First off, I am not a mechanic! Some friends are helping me repair my 'Burban. Does anyone know what the torque spec is on a 1978 GMC Suburban K-15 4x4 drag link to pitman arm? It was tightned to 120 until I could find the answer, so, here I am at 3:30 AM tryin' to find out! I'll also be replacing the tie rod stuff as well! Looks like a great forum here! Thanks in advance!

I just was screwin with my crossover stuff a few nights ago, and when I looked through the book I believe for the tierod end it said torque to 45 pounds. They shouldnt need anywhere near 120, that is alot of torque. Your lug nuts on that truck probably dont even need to be torqued that much.

Thanks for the effort, 120 sounds like a lot from 45 on the tierod ends! Thanks again! Y'all can see my project vehicle at my site! Or click here... http://stormbringer1835.tripod.com/id18.html
