    1/2 in bolts to the frame I think. torque to 75 ftlbs. upper shafts have to be adjustable to move control arm 1 way ot the other. I took measurements b4 disasembly and just copied them. Once they are aligned in the rite location. there is no need to torque them as they wont move. End pieces thread into control arms and centre rod(holds large bolts) threads into each end.1end is left hand thread. thats all that I did 3 yrs ago and no problems since.TTFN Ron
