Question 1998 Buick LeSabre Sub Frame Bushing Bolt Torque

Trying to make certain how much to torque the bolt that is at the bushing that bolts the sub frame to the body of the car. I think it is 140 ft-lbs but I want to be sure. Also, what to torque the bolts that bolts the driver side sub frame to the rest of the sub frame. I split the frame to drop the tranny.

I just read 83 ft-lbs. However, I don't think this is the forum for getting answers any longer. Which is a shame as this was a really good forum at one time.

This is a time of year, where a lot of guys are on vacation......

I take my tablet to the beach, and the wife yells at me....

Very rarely, do I use a torque wrench.......about the only time I use one, is on engine work....yes I know, every single bolt/nut/stud has a torque......more to cover a manufacturer'* butt, than anything else....

Looked in my old 93 shop manual as well as asking someone that works at a garage that checked Mitchell for my 98. Torque is only 66 lb-ft. Trying to take it to 140 or even 83 might have been bad news. Don't guess folks, find out for sure.
