Front End Torques Specs Needed I just picked up my 2000 Camaro SS this spring.
It had these suspension mods put on last year. It may have about 1K mi on them now.
BMR 98-02' F-body A-arm Kit (AA001, AA002)- HAMMERTONE
BMR Control Arm Hardware Kit, Front Upper And Lower
BMR Adjustable Panhard Bar w/polyurethane ends - HAMMERTONE
Strano Performance Lowering Springs
Koni STR.T Shocks
SLP Weld-in Subframe Connectors
Can anyone tell me what the torque specs are for the ball joints, sway bars, A arms, etc..
I checked the BMR site and their installation instructions give no torque specs.
Id like to go thru everything to make sure nothing has worked itself loose.
Thanks!
