Holly. Ok, does anyone have any torque specs? I know I'm being an anal fawk but I want to do this rightzags said:Some people are tack welding them on the inside of the knuckle to keep them from backing out and breaking. I plan on doing this when I rebuild my axle next.
I use 120ft lbsOOP'S said:Using torque specs is not being anal, not using them is being an asshole. 71 ft.lbs.--FSM![]()
May have something to do with aftermarket arms. The FSM says 71 I think I went down to 80 and have never had a prob with them coming loose!!!SeaBass44 said:

mine lossen up each trip by 10-20ft lbs, I have read about the few problems and think it's just that people do not check them and keep them torqued enough, so I do and so far.............so good. nice job on the ram mount by the wayOOP'S said:May have something to do with aftermarket arms.

Could be worn out. Get some new studs and nuts.RE:Todd said:Must be, I re-tighten mine every day of wheeling.
Sorry we are talking nuts here., not sure about the studs???4-runnin said:We are talking about the studs here and not the nutst hold the arm onto the studs right? I have specs on the nuts torque but not the stud to knuckle.

No you dont! You go back to camp and drink :beer:RE:Todd said:Must be, I re-tighten mine every day of wheeling.
I agree...........Bobby Long recomends this as a step to the install of his superbirfields........................? .....weird.go look at his website at the install instructionsBad Karma said:Just check them and you will be fine.Tack welding a stud in a knuckle is one of the more ridiculous solutions I've heard in a while............
i think that useing a bolt would pose a problem with the cone washers.DogDenII said:Wouldn't a bolt work the same way in place of the studs?
