[/quote'] Going by memory here...i can double check with my FSM when I get home. nut that connects balljoint to steering knuckle = 55 - 65 ft lbs nut that connects tie rod to steering knuckle = 45 ft lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 thanks, i did them all by 55lbs, so i guess ill correct that and bring it down to 45lbs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Dude, are you putting this all together without a FSM or Haynes manual? The Haynes is at least good enough to supply most of the nut and bolt torque specs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 i have a haynes but i couldnt find the specs in the book. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 if memory serves, haynes manual chapter 10 is suspension, and in the end of the chapter it lists all the torque specs. I have the manual at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiller240 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 the torque specs are on the second page of the chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
