Pafdt installation.
It's the 4th what better way to celebrate the USA than to work on an American car. The only problem is PAFDT is close and I am having trouble tighting down the top bolt to 75lb. The shaft turns and when I use a crows foot with a socket on the middle shaft it lossens the shock adjustment area. Looking for a tip from the corvette family.
Here is my tag.

I did not cut the holes. I set them per the instructions for the driving I do and moved on.
I can't drive as fast as the car will go, so fine tuning the suspension to get an extra 10th is not that important for me.

I totally agree, what was your setting? How did you tighten the rear since you can not get to it once the it is installed?

Hey guys. As has been touched on earlier in the thread, the upper nut torque spec is 75 INCH pounds. Be sure not to overtorque that nut, as shaft damage will occur if the nut is severely over tightened. There is Loctite provided in the kit to lock the nut into place without the need for large torque figures.
The car is looking good Smooth72! I'm sure your going to love it when it all comes together.
