Default Torque Specs: Suspension

Got my Alba pro comp arms today, but I don't have a manual yet. Does anyone know the torque specs for these?

A-arm to frame bolts
Ball Joints
Caliper bolts
Banjo bolts for brake lines

Any tips on setting up the camber and toe in/out?

the bolts on the uppers torque to 27 ft lbs
the lowers are 23 ft lbs

it also says to make sure the bolt heads face outwards on both arms.

Manual also says to tighten "union" or "bango" bolts at 19ft. lb.

Ball Joint "castle" nuts @ 18ft. lb.

Hope this helps, doc.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Make sure and tell us how you like the pro-comps after you install them, because i am thinking about putting these a arms on my raptor once i get it, but i will also use the works triple rates.

Well, I was hoping to go the track today, but it is raining. But I rode around for a couple of hours yesterday and I can tell a big difference in the handling. I am totally confident now at slinging it around without worrying about flipping on the side.

The only cons are

1. $ well made, but come on, and this applies to all brands
2. stock shocks didn't want to fit into the hangers on the lowers. I had to bend the tabs a little
3. steering is stiff as hell now, I am guessing it is because of the new ball joints or the maybe the toe in is wrong

I also really like the braided brake lines. Noticable improvement
