Ball joint torque spec?

Rangerz · 01-18-2015, 03:09 PM

Does anyone know the torque spec for the front ball joint nut? I couldnt find a spec for the nut in the FSM just saw swing torque for ball joint inspection. I ended up torquing is to 33ft lbs like the tie rod end nut.

Be more specific. Which one?

Lower front control arm ball joint. FSM calls it the traverse link.

Is this the one that attached to the bottom of the steering knuckle? If so you'll find it in FAX. Is #3 the one you're talking about?
