I gave you the wrong torque value. Memory bank must be burning up.

According to Haynes, the trailing arm-to-axle bolts should be torqued to 137-220 ft/lbs. The trailing arm-to-frame nuts should be torqued to 94-108 ft/lbs. The lateral rod nuts should torqued to 80-94 ft/lbs.

I just finished reinstalling mine with new bushings. Not much to it, but my 1/2" torque wrench maxes out at 160 ft/lbs so that's where I torqued the axle bolts. Good thing it stopped there, 'cause I couldn't have pulled them any tighter while lying on the floor.
