[rider]

I have compiled a comprehensive list of torque specs for my rear end underside refurb rebuild which may be useful for others:

 

Torque setting

 

Frame to body

Rear frame rear cushions 43 lb/ft (58NM)

Rear frame front cushions 129 lb/ft

 

Prop and differential

Prop to diff bolts 58 lb/ft

Drive shaft to differential 61 lb/ft

Differential mount bolts front 108 lb/ft

Differential mount bolts rear 105 lb/ft

 

Sway bar

Stabilizer bar drop link (both) 54 lb/ft

Stabilizer bar bracket 13 lb/ft

 

Suspension arms

Upper arm to frame 121 lb/ft

Upper arm ball joint nut 80 lb/ft

 

Lower #2 arm to frame 136 lb/ft

I'd always advise people to check torque settings for themselves but these are what I'm going with.
