If you own a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, you may need to know the specific torque required for the rocker arm in your vehicle. The torque should be between 30 and 32 pound-feet to effectively secure the rocker arm in place. Failing to mount it properly can lead to the rocker arm being lost or the component becoming loose, resulting in rattling and shaking while driving. If the rocker arm is damaged, it will have to be replaced, which can range from $24 to $80 for parts only. Hiring a mechanic or auto technician to replace it can add an extra $50 to $280 in labor costs.
