If I gotta get a torque wrench to get the job done either way I’m doing the LCA. No need to disassemble the whole dang knuckle if I need an alignment anyway
To each their own….. but “”” disassemble the whole damn knuckle””” = 1 nut……

Let's hope not.


The only thing close to that torque value is the axle nut.
It's not. Nowhere close.

The axle nut isn't even that tight IIRC.
i hope you guys realize that pic is for a different truck, and the lower shock bolt for it is indeed that tq value, or else it wouldve sheared off long before i even got to that value.

Speaking of shearing bolts off, i misread the tq spec for our bumper as ft-lbs and it was written in-lbs, luckily you can replace the studs
