GT350 Torque settings

Bumping this since it was helpful for me. Also I figured I would add what I believe to be accurate for our cars:

-Rear knuckle to lower arm bolt 203 ft lbs or 275 nm (21mm socket)
-Rear knuckle to toe link bolt 129 ft lbs or 175 nm (18mm socket)
-Rear knuckle to upper arm bolt 76 ft lbs or 103 nm

I couldn't find this information anywhere else, so I used the GT350/GT half shaft install instructions to pull this information.

Thanks! So, 14 ft lbs for the front caliper bleeders and 10 ft lbs for the rear caliper bleeders is confirmed. I confirmed the fronts/rears with someone that has a shop/repair manual.

Wonder why the torque spec is less for the rears. It's the same size bleeder.

No problem! That's where my screenshot is from as well. I purchased the 2016 service info CD.
