Panard rod torque spec needed

Had to lower the RH side of the Panard rod to get the axel cover off (replacing gear lube). What is the bolt torque spec. Anyone have a shop manual?
Thanks,
Rick

Indeed it does. Much obliged!

Wow, is that a typo? 350 lb-ft for the UCA bolt!! Don't think I have a torque wrench that goes that high. Or the physical strength.

I hope the tech that just installed mine got that much torque on it!

He did say he took it apart and put loctite on it after he initially installed it.

Holy crap! That's like more torque than most cars!

Is the lateral stiffener bar the bar above the panhard bar that attaches to the frame by two bolts and to the panhard brace by 1 long bolt?

Here's the torque sheet from the FR500S most eveything is the same.
