There is no specific torque as far as I know.
The ends that loosened up were not the forward adjustable ends but the rear frame attachments. The front ones are hex, not square, and seem plenty tight. I also found the front motor mounts were major loose. From underneath, there was only rubber and a nut, no steel washers on either side. I could move the bottom rubber up and down 1/4"!! New mounts coming. How much chattering does that cause? That motor could move up and down 1/4" and forward and back 1/2".
