Where do you guys get torque specs info?

Hi guys,

Where do you guys get torque spec information? Say for torquing down the rear sway bar endlinks? Or wheels on an evo ix? I recently purchase craftsman airtools and have never had these before. I am wondering where to set the pressure on the compressor etc.. Thanks for the help guys!

I have the torque specs now, but what psi do you guys use on your compressor air tools to remove and tighten wheel lugs and sway bar bolts?

Most people probably turn their air compressor all the way up or between 120-180psi. The issue with this is the tank pressure and line pressure on most peoples tanks are not going to be the same as yours, due to size and quality. It's important to become familiar with how much torque you're putting down with an impact gun or w/e pneumatic tool you're using. I have a 1200ft-lb impact gun and I don't ever over torque the bolts. This is something that just comes with experience.
