the ball joints. The casilated nut for the ball joint on the a arm (where it attaches to the spindel) backed off. THANK GOD FOR COTTER PINS.

I just need the torque specs for the ball joints.

81 lb. ft. on the lower ball joint and 39 lb. ft. on the upper ball joint. This is out of my Chiltons repair manual for the 4th Gen F-Bodies.
