Torque and spacers for rear control arms
What are the torque specs for the rear control arms (upper and lower). Also there were 2 smaller spacers and 2 larger spacers. We figured out where the two larger spacers went but were clueless as to where the two smaller ones went. Everything went back in like stock so we just left them out. Test ride was fine. The rear end feels good and tight now. I can't wait to launch this beast and see how it feels with no wheel hop.

my UMI install sheet said 129lbs for the lower control arm bolts..I am guessing the spacers are for the upper control arm..I didnt replace that only my lower control arms and panhard bar and I had no spacers with those.

What type of bushings are on these arms? The stock specs are 129 ft. lbs. for control arm fasteners.
If you are using UMI roto-joints I would definitely not go that far with them. 100 ft. lbs. is it. You go further than that and you can crush those spherical joints. I destroyed two of mine by over-torquing and I only took it up to 129.
