Front suspension torque settings? • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Would anyone be so kind as to provide me with the torques for the front suspension ('73, disc brakes)? I haven't yet got myself a shop manual for it. Thanks.

If you can narrow that down for me, I could help. The brake's themselve's, suspension, torsion bar's, sway bar's?

All of it, actually. I disassembled it all to derustify, clean and paint it, and now I'm working on reinstalling it. So I need torques for lower and upper ball joints, cam bolts, end links, lower control arm, brake mounting bracket, brake caliper bolts, sway bar, the nut on the end of the spindle. Whatever you can give me would be much appreciated.

I will PM you the 1970 spec.

There you go! :wink:

Dave is very knowlegable on this, and, I believe the spec's are the same on the 70' and 73'. But, you really need that 73' Dodge, Body and Chassis, service manual. It very helpful, as well as interesting. With that, and this Board, I have all the Information needed to keep my car running strong.

Good Luck, Pat
