First disc job

[bw4sale]

I'm doing my first disc conversion. Got some newbie questions.

1) Should I grease the ball joint spindles before assembly?
2) How tight are the castle nuts supposed to be?
3) I'm just putting the upper A arm shims back the way the way they were, but the camber doesn't look right. I know I'll have to get it aligned later, but is there a good rule of thumb to get it close to right? Do I just eye ball it or what?

Thanks for the help.

A little grease or anti-sieze is a good idea in the event you need to take it aprt again.

I'm sure there is a specific torque reading, but I usually cinch them tight then back off till the holes line up for the cotter pin.

Just don't do a lot of driving till you have it aligned or the tires will wear quickly.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. I think I'm getting it figured out. Not hard I know. Just being super cautious since it's my first.
