Factory Service Manual. I have the '84 FSM at home but I don't know if all the #'s are the same.

Default C4 corvette suspension torque specs

I used Energy Suspension Polyurethane Performance.

I was able to get the link for the rear suspension specs to work, but not the front.
Can someone give me a link for the front suspension torque specs.

Thanks,

Thanks,
I uploaded the info again, so the links should work now.
Don't wait for 7 months and expect the info to still be there.
