Can anyone tell me the torque spec for the bolt that clamps the rear aluminum pivot arm to the Rear top Suspension arm? I had to remove the top rear idler wheels to replace them. 2018 Sidewinder LTX-Le 137. It has a 13mm nut and 10mm bolt.
Torque spec sheet I have it wasn't clear and didn't want to over or under torque.
PS 9800 miles on the original top idler wheels and bearings! not bad.

Thanks for the reply... this is the bolt I am try to determine how tight to torque. It wasn't very tight when I removed so i don't want to over tighten. Thanks again.

20 ftlbs is correct.

Most of the fasteners on these cat skids are like 10mm and 13mm. They dont need a ton of torque. A decent 3/8 drive ratchet and make snug, tight and one more little bit - and that will be an easy 20ft lbs.
