torque specs
found the lower control arm bolts loose today during my pre-cruise checkup for a long run tomorrow...need to know the torque specs for them and is there an order they should be tightened, my assembly manual doesn't tell me, I seem to remember 70# is that correct? Thanks Rob

If they loosened up, they probably are poly and torque references are pretty useless. Use lock tight.

not sure if they were taken apart before I bought the car 3 years ago, it was frame on restored and new springs installed so don't know the extent of disassembly that was done, there was a squeek in the front end that got me looking into it.

Squeaks usually indicate poly bushings too. Are you sure they are rubber?
