Front Differential Bushing Torque Spec ??

I've replaced my front carrier bushing. Does the bottom bolt that compresses the bushing need to be torqued to a specific amount? If so, does anyone know the amount?

THANKS!

I tightened mine down until it started to bulge a little and then double nutted it. Bubba in action.

The spec torque is 65 +/- 10 Ft-lbs. If I remember I had to get to about 60 before the metal spacers came up tight. If you don't get enough torque then you will hear a clunk when shifting into gear.
