Says right in the Equal-i-zer manual to ensure the socket bolts are tightened to "a minimum of 60 ft-lbs". I guess it comes as a surprise to some but it's the owner's responsibility to ensure all nuts / bolts are correctly torqued AND periodically checked to ensure they haven't loosened. :R
I read the manual time and again looking for the specs and couldn't find them. Equalizer was kind enough to email me back with a spec of 65 ft lb this afternoon.

So that's where it is now and that's where I'm going to leave it.
