Help on Torque SPECS for lower front control arm bolts
For one reason or another the Helms fails to tell me these two torque specs. I'm sure one of you guys knows so let me know.
It's these two in the picture below.

Re: Help on Torque SPECS for lower front control arm bolts (jdmspoonitr)
i had to find out while doing my brake swap/s and dealer mech. said they tighten it to the same amount as the radius arm bolt at 67ftlbs.
even they have no updated spec notice on that part of the car as far as torque goes.
i've had no problems taking it apart after toque as well. and no sign of strain or cracks in the arm. and ive done the swap about 3 times in the past year. so you should be good. and i torqued it with the car up and not loaded on the ground.

let us know what page... ive looked at both civic and integ helms manuals and nowhere to be found... maybe they are in a different section not in the suspension part???

Re: (ITR#132)
at my dealer, and most dealers for that...we just hit it with a couples wacks of a low torque impact.
But when taking care, I go 65 ft lbs and NEVER have had a problem.
