I have been looking for front suspension torque specs (for all parts) for my 65  VW pan and wondered if anyone had them at their finger tips. Specifically, I need specs for tie rod ends at steering knuckles and Pitman Arm, steering damper at both ends and tie rod end clamps. I must be looking in all the wrong places and would appreciate any help....Mike
