Hello,
I am installing new strut rod bushings on my 66 mustang. Is there a torque spec.for the nut on the end with the bushings?

Tighten it up till you run out thread. They are compression nuts and won't come undone afterv tightening. They are also non-adjustable.

Come to think of it, I think the torque specs came with the Moog set I put in a month or so ago. Right around what you say.
