hey guys, i am planning to reassemble my front suspension this weekend and
was wondering if anybody has torque specs for upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods and wheel bearing.

i am working on a half ton 2wd with manual steering.

i posted in suspension yesterday and have no responses over there.

thanks for replies everyone.

But the wheel bearing nut wasn't in that first question..so tighten it to 15 ft lbs then back it off to align cotter pin in nearest slot.
