light pull; the axle should remain “clipped” in place.
2. Swing the knuckle up and onto the drive axle; then
place the knuckle into place in the upper A-arm.
Secure the knuckle to the A-arm with cap screws and
new lock nuts. Tighten to 45 ft-lb (61.2 N-m).
3. Install the hubs (see Hub Assembly in this section).
4.
Install the wheel; then using a crisscross pattern, tighten
the wheel nuts in 20 ft-lb (27.2 N-m) increments to a
final torque of 40 ft-lb (54.4 N-m) (steel wheel), 60
ft-lb (81.6 N-m) (aluminum wheel w/black nuts), or
80 ft-lb (108.8 N-m) (aluminum wheel w/chrome
nuts) .
5. Remove the vehicle from the support stand and
release the parking brake.

2. Insert the ball joints into the steering knuckles and
secure with new cap screws and new lock nuts tight-
ened to 45 ft-lb (61.2 N-m); then install the tie rods
to the steering knuckles and tighten to 30 ft-lb (40.8
N-m).
3. Install the hubs (see Hub Assembly in this section).
4.
Install the wheel; then using a crisscross pattern, tighten
the wheel nuts in 20 ft-lb (27.2 N-m) increments to a
final torque of 40 ft-lb (54.4 N-m) (steel wheel), 60
ft-lb (81.6 N-m) (aluminum wheel w/black nuts), or
