Default Rear beam torque settings

Evening all,

Having had to drop the rear beam to fit the avo's I'd like to just double check the torque setting for the rear mounting plate and main bolt up through the bush.

The 2 x 17mm bolts holding the plate to the chassis -

the main 19mm bolt up through the bush -

thanks in advance.

I just did mine “tight” and never had a problem. Yes correct torque is best but once on its wheels I don’t think those bolts take huge loading (I may be wrong)
