Torque Specs on Rear Upper Control Arm

[mossimo817]

Does anyone know what the torque specs on the rear upper control arm of an 88 Accord? I just bought a new control arm and plan to install it today...thanks!!! :)

28ft lbs for the bolts and 32ft lbs for the ball joint

That's 28 for the bolt that attaches to the body and 32 for the nut/cotter pin on the control arm right (with the ball joint)?

thats correct. You can exceed the torque on the balljoint if need be to line up the hole for the cotter pin but don not loosen the nut to align the holes, always go to the next hole, never go back.
