Hey all, I'm seeing conflicting info for the torque specs on the 7/8 inch nut that is used on the U bolts that hold the lower control arm to the frame. Anyone know the right specs for that? Thanks!

Standard U-bolt torque are bolt diameter size specific...
5/8" 3/4" etc... not the wrench size of the nut.
Lots of web info on bolt size torque
