I am installing new upper control arm shafts in my 88 B2200. I don’t see a torque spec anywhere for the bushing caps on the ends, just for the two main bolts that hold the shaft to the body. Anybody know the spec or have any hard earned insights on how to properly tighten those end caps?

Thanks for digging that up for me and sending the photo! I have the Mazda workshop manual and I’m shocked that that same information wasn’t there. I’m gonna go back and look and see if I just missed it because there’s a ton of information in that manual. It’s actually the best manual for a vehicle I’ve ever owned. Also, I think that must win the award for the greatest range of torque specs ever!

 

I Agree!
