Lower A-arm torque specs

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

Well,  it might seem that 95-130 ft-lbs isn't the right figure.

Having talked myself into that,  and thinking that I'd go at 95,  I 
proceeded to crank it down,  and promptly tore the threads off the stud 
before the torque wrench clicked.

I did wonder a bit as I felt it get tighter, to a point where I might 
have stopped,  but hey, I was going for a torque rating and kept going,  
then it began to get easier...  damn!

So,  my replacement A arm mount from APE is now toast,  and I need to 
get another one...  I am really upset with myself right now.

I still haven't found a generic torque spec chart,  or what I REALLY 
want now..  a true and official torque spec from Alfa on this thing!

I'll let you all know what I find out.
