I'm changing upper ball joints that I installed last summer into a pair of Dave's modified units. I no longer have the installation sheet that came with the new joints. Since the originals were riveted I could not find a spec in the 'Maintenance Repair Manual' Anyone out there know the torque value for the 4 mounting bolts?

John,
Go much past 30 ft lbs and you'll snap them. Stick to 30.
