Guys mine exploded...

I bought a new one, its a single stabilizer.

I need the torque specs for the castle bolt at the steering arm and the axle side mounting bolt.

That's not really a torque-spec critical part, just tighten it down with a medium bit of oomph and call it good. Use some blue Loctight if you have it.

It should have a cotter key so tighten it down till you can insert key.

Tight enough for it to not fall off, yet not so tight as to strip the threads.

Rusted through..it spewed all the fluid every where and I couldnt turn without it binding. I tightened the castle to 35 then inserted the court pin. Axle side was to 55.
