Not having a Gen III I do not have a Gen III service manual. However, I do have a Gen III front suspension (thanks to NESHO for the fabrication portion).

Does anyone have torque specs for the lower ball joint to front control arm attachment? Something has started clunking and these are on the list of suspects. If you have the manual open, the control arm to subframe torque specs would also be appreciated.

Regards - zak
