Torque specs for Skunk2 camber arms
Anyone know that the torque specs are for the 4 little nuts on the top for the ball joint adjuster? They look pretty small and I don't want to break them.

My arms did not come with any paper work.
I just torqued them down to tight/what ever i felt comfortable with. I have not had a problem.

I'm just worried, because sometimes I'm a bit of an animal and I don't know my own strength, and things break. I like to use the torque wrenches on everything.

I read this on another forum "The torque specs on the allen heads used for adjustment are 7 ft/lbs.
Overtightening is one of the big reasons for failure. Basically people tighten the allenheads so much the UCA slots deform, metal has horrible elastic properties so the material ends up being thinner than when you first received them, therefor it leaves nothing for the allenheads to grip onto"
