Torque specification questions - 05/02/24 04:54 PM
I'm installing 1973 front suspension on my 69 Dart and have a couple questions regarding torque specs. Since all of the parts I am using are 73 era, I've been going by the specs. from the 73 service manual. The manual calls for 160 ft. lbs. of torque on the lower ball joint to spindle nuts/bolts. But, my 69 service manual lists the torque as 100 ft.lbs. Does anyone know what the reason is for the difference? And second, my torque wrench only goes up to 150 ft. lbs. Will the 10 ft. lbs. less be something to worry about?
