Anyone know the exact torque for the rear bolts around the rubber coupling on a D2 shaft. Is "tight as I can get it without having a hernia" tight enough? Kidding. I tightened them to I would say about 80-90 ft. lbs. Sound good enough? I would assume there would be some vibes if they were not all tightened evenly.

I asked the same question a while back and got zero information. I asked another member of this site and he just tightened them all done snug. From what I've read, I think 120 ft-lbs would be the highest you would want to torque them. I used 105 ft-lbs.
