How much torque for control arm?

[nickyg]

I'm getting ready to replace the bushings in my control arms. (upper and lower) My hayes manual does not have torque settings listed.
A quick search came up with very inconstant results one site said 55lbs another said 100 lbs. Anyone have a clue? or am I being anal about something that really don't matter too much.

Stock control arms. with moog bushings.

50 - 75# would be plenty. Remember how much goes on head bolts. You can strip stuff with too much torque
