Could be but I didn't think I got the formula backwards.
Manual states inches x .08333 = lbs. That would make it 11.000-14.999 lbs.
That would have been closer to my beer math than the actual manual required torque value of 30-40 lbs.
My point was the torque values that are written in the directions that came with the bushings were much less than the manual and if someone went by the directions they could be in a world of hurt.
I don't think I've got it wrong but let me know if I have. Compare the photos of the directions that came with the bushings and you'll see what I'm talking about.
You're right. anyone that uses either formula will be in a world of hurt. As previously stated, 1 ft/lb equals 12 in/lb just the same as 1 ft equals 12 in.
