body bushing bolt torque

Hey all.....Is there a certain torque for body bushing bolts when all replaced? Are you suppose to squash the new rubber bushings?? How do you know how tight to make them?

 

30-45 lb/ft is the factory range. I like to go 35. Kind of in the middle. Gives you some wiggle room if your torque wrench is off. The lower mount should bulge out a bit when you tighten them. Cheap ones will go flat. If that happens toss them and find better lowers. Cars did sell the good Buick style with molded in washers and they worked perfectly. Some on here have said the washers are now not as thick on them? Not sure. If that’s the case you could use a second wide washer with them. Their part number was BM644A

 

Where did you get your mount set?

 

This is the only lower I would use. They won’t collapse.

 

Todd now has the good ones in stock

 

I use a 3/8 driver,...with some lube on the threads

 

Thanks guys! I got my set from Todd about 1.5 years ago, finally installed. Went super smooth, just was not sure how tight. I did not even use torque wrench, so I will go over them all and see where I am at. Thank you!
