[VAC] Re: Replacing Shocks / Balancing Wheels



Ted,
  Correct torque on most fasteners is as follows:

"tighten until just before it breaks"

As told to me by a fella who had been a mechanic for many, many years 
and never owned a torque wrench.

Kidding aside, I'd think that 90 ft. #s is plenty.
