Sloppy Steering in '65 Valiant Manual Box

I'd be tempted to put it back in and tighten it to spec.
I found (hopefully correct) torque specs for idler arm stud nuts as follows: link 40 and bracket 45. I doubt there is room for a torque wrench in there, but I can guesstimate 45 by hand. Might give it a try tomorrow. Maybe a good idea to purchase new nuts beforehand.
