Bought my first TR6 last March and just finshed up totally redoing the front suspension. The only item I'm not sure of is the main bolt that goes through the lower A-arm ends (outer) and the trunnion for the vertical link. It has the 4 Nylon bushes, thin rubber washers, cupped washers, thick washers and distance pieces.
One book says to torque to 50 to 60 ft. pounds (which doesn't make sense to me, thinking that you'd crush the nylon bushes and not allow much movement there) and the other book says to snug tight and then back off nut 1 or 2 flats to end up with a bit of end float (think it was around .004"). This makes more sense to be but figured I better ask the experts.
Thanks for any help on this!
