Ok.


Now I'm confused.


I was thinking"Ubolt"from the rear suspension which was 110ft/lbs. Now I'm wondering if the OP meant ubolt from the driveshaft. That is 85ft/lbs.

Sorry for the confusion!

Shorts you are right, it is confusing. I understood the u-joints on the drive shaft. U-bolts on the suspension is a horse of a different color.
