Spindle Assembly - At a standstill - need input
Anyone have the torque values for the 3 bolts in the steering knuckle?
I really need input to overview all bolt torques for the entire front spindle assembly. Can anyone help? 5 Books and none are complete or concur.
I am at a standstill and am chompin at the bit to get things going - my chassis is to be ready for the body next Friday !!!!!

Not the answer you want but I torque Headbolts, Intake Bolts, Main and Rod Bearings, cam gears, and differential bearings. Other than that, loc-tite and torque tight.
I believe the bolts you are worried about are 5/16" fine thread. Give em a good whack and move on.

the bolts that hold the steering arms on have self locking nuts
good luck getting an accurate reading from a torque wrench just tighten them and go . Have assembled hundreds of them and never had 1 fall apart yet
