I think all the bolt dimensions and torque values are listed in the 
front of the Service Manual ...

>The nuts under the shock tower are just regular 3/8" nuts welded underneath.
>They are not the captive nuts.

>Since the fulcrum is about 1/2 ", I am guessing you should see about 1/4 to
>1/2 inch of bolt protruding the nut but I have never looked.

>If the bolts wont get tight with a single washer, try re-tapping the nut but
>make sure you work slow with a lot of cutting oil.
