Hey Guys,

First off I would like to thank Glen ("suncountry") for that very infomrative/usefull link to the Corvette Fever article that refered to the front-end suspension rebuild rebuild.
However, one side is almost doen,a nd the other side is geting there. I am going to rent the spring compressor from autozone this weekend. But my big question here is:
In the article it failed to mention the torque settings for the bolts on the ball joints.  Does anyone know the torque settigns for the upper, and lower ball joints? Or do they just have to be all nice and tight?

Thanks guys,
-Lou
