LCA nut torque - '71 510 wagon

[67_1600]

I'm replacing my control arm bushings and am in the middle of reassembly and cannot find the torque setting for the self-locking nut that attaches the control arm to the crossmember in my Haynes manual. I'm sure it's probably there, but they don't always use the same terminology when describing things one place and then giving torque settings in another. Does anyone have the setting by chance?

 

Thanks!

Datsun calls it the "transverse link bush". Since the pin uses an M14 nut, torque it appropriate to the nut. Most Datsun suspension bolts are medium carbon steel.
