ok so over past few days after work ive been redoing the entire front end on my dakota...

i replaced pitman and idler arm, inner and outer tierod ends, upper and lower ball joints, upper and lower control arm bushings(energy suspension 5.3139)((Crazy if u read this, the front lower control arm bushings were correct diameter but both spacer and bushings were too long, i ended up cutting almost an inch of poly off one of the split bushings on each side then took spacer out of old bushing for fix)), all sway bar bushings, oh and in the process i took torsion off with lower control arm and didnt measure it...

anyways, everything is in place and loose, i want to know the correct pattern for torquing everything and if someone could just shoot me all the torques, how im gonna fix torsion key setting and oh what can be tightened jacked up and what needs to be torqued on the ground...

oh and is there a specific type of grease i should use for all parts with fittings?

just want this to be drivable to alignment shop in town, bout 7 miles from here...

 

Cool! You sure will have a tight system when all done.

Thanks for the tip, I'm sure it will help others out. As for torques I would say check the service manual that will have all the specs and operations.

 

Yea I probably should of brought my chilton to work and made a quick reference chart, I was dam exhausted last night
