Default Front Suspension Torque Specs

Hey guys,

I'll be tackling the IWEs, hubs, etc soon due to the grinding. Looking ahead for reassembly, I'd like to see if any of you know the proper torque specs for the following parts on a 2014 4x4. I found some values but they are for the 04-08, not sure if they changed.

Tie rod end nut
Upper ball joint nut
Lower ball joint nut
Hub assembly bolts (4 total to the knuckle)
Axle/spindle nut

Thanks!

These specs are for a 13 and should be all the same with exception to the lower front shock/strut mount as it is different on the 14. The 13 has one huge thru bolt, the 14 has a standard lower shock mount twin bolts. Don't have the spec on those so use your best judgement by remembering how tight they felt coming off.

Very large bolt. When I put my lift kit on I had to use a 3' long breaker bar and a 3' long cheater pipe and stand on the end of it with all of my 190lbs to get it to break loose.
