Anyone have a service manual can tell me the torque settings for the tie rod, upper ball joint and control arm bolts? Mine is a 4x4 the instructions call for disassembly of the axle/hub but it looks easier to remove the control arm bolts. Info much appreciated.

 

I dropped my control arm. Super easy and it has to be aligned anyways.

 

Procedure attached, includes torque values.

FWIW I did not loosen or remove any control arm bolts when I installed the 1.5" lift on my 4x4. I also did not touch any fasteners for the IWE or axle nut. The only alignment needed was for toe.

 

Thank u but i just don't like messing with the vacuum actuator/CV/axle and its going to be re-aligned anyway. Biggest thing I need is the torque value on the tie rod for safety reasons.

 

again, the alignment shop did all that.

 

That's what I'm saying, you don't need to remove or loosen the IWE or axle nut. Too many stories of people, including pro installers messing up IWE's on front spacer installs. Besides, there's no reason to make it more complicated than needed.

 

Sorry I didn't read the post correctly got it thanks. One thing though I wonder if you could bang out the two lower bolts on the strut before removing it? I haven't brought it in and looked yet but it would make stuff easy.

 

With an air hammer/chisel I mean.
