Default Proper Torque

Does anyone know the correct torque for the steering knuckle to spindel mounting bolt torque?? The asssembly manual shows this as part of the spindel assembly and doesn't give the bolt torque. Any help would be appreciated.
:cheers:

Steering arm to spindle is 70 ft-lbs should be a 3/4 nut (63-68 was 11/16).

The torque specifications are in your shop manual, the Van Steel catalog has a handy listing of front and rear torque suspension specifications.
