I am reassembling the rear suspension on my 1987 corvette. I am hoping someone can help me with the following torque specs
Upper control rods
Lower control rods
Carrier support arms
Spindle rods where they bolt to the knuckle
I would appreciate any help that you can offer
John

Thanks for the help Adam. I am going to test the theory of no "dumb" questions
. I took a picture of the rear end and looked at the torque specs you sent me. I want to make sure that I am identifying the correct bolts. Can you take a look at the picture and let me know if I have it right? Much Appreciated!

Except for "E", all looks correct. What you have labeled as "E" appears to be the outer strut("support rod") bolt, which would be torqued the same as "D".

The actual "spindle to hub & bearing" fastener is the nut that holds the axle into the hub assy...letter "L" in this pic.
