Ball joint bolt torque specs

[jrigheimer]

Anyone know what the torque specs are for duralast/moog ball joints?

The Moog instructions are generic relative to fastener sizes for different vehicle applications. I don't recall what the truck sizes are so here are all they have listed.

Control arm bolts: 1/4" bolts, 10-14 ft-lbs. 5/16" bolts, 14-19 ft-lbs. The nuts are to be up (grease fitting side). I think that's to avoid possible damage to grease boots.

Studs: 1/2" diameter bolts, 55-65 ft-lbs. 5/8" diameter bolts, 75-90 ft-lbs. 9/16", 60-80 ft-lbs.
"NOTE: When the low end of range has been reached for the particular size thread being tightened, locate cotter pin hole in stud and then continue to tighten until first available slot in nut lines up with hole in stud."
