Clean car! Did you properly torque it to 11,000,000 ft/lbs?

I have to put some lock tight on the big nut and do a torque on everything.

Have not drove it yet. I dive it with just the lowers and I could feel some difference. I am putting a new Ford Fined Cover on the rear end. I will drive it tomorrow if the weather is good.

Thanks for that I will have to bring big torque from home. I know some where I seen the torque on all the bolts like the control arms. But if you have that too it would help.

If I recall it was 69 or 70 ft lbs for one of the arms and 110 ft lbs for the other but I can't remember which number applies to the upper and which applies to the lower

Looks better than mine. I wasted time cutting the hump out when I should of just add metal to the ends. For some reason I can't upload the pictures.

Thanks all. It has been fun and some work. I have about 80 dollars and 8hrs of welding and fitting. Hope it handles will.
