Hello!

I had disassembled the whole rear end of my 69'Camaro.

Are there any torque specs for the screws, nuts etc for example at rear axle to leafes, drive shaft...

The spring shock plates are 65# and the lug nuts are also 65# not sure about the U joint nuts

Ring gear bolts 45 foot pounds, bearing cap bolts 60 foot pounds. Pinion nut is torqued to set the bearing preload, which would be 10 inch pounds for used bearings and 19 to 22 for new bearings.
