What ft lbs do I need to tighten the 2 verticle nuts on the control arm,an to 2 nuts on the sides at the bushings to ?
Also lower an upper ball joint nuts.
Its on a 01 2wd 3.9 .

Thanks

 

The upper control arm bushings are torqued to 130 ft lbs.
The upper control arm nuts 155 ft lbs.
The upper ball joint 60 ft lbs
The lower ball joint 94 ft lbs

All from the FSM.

 

What Dan said.

And yes, they WILL go to 155 ft-lb. And yes, you WILL cuss a riot getting them there.

 

Thanks.
I knew they would be high an a pain to get off/retorque. .Had such a tough time getting 1 of the bigger middle 2 ones with the lock bolt on inside that it twisted past the square slot!
Had to put a piece of steel in it to block it as tightening . .
Hopefully wont need an alignment!

 

that and trying to get the torque wrench around the tire were my mention of cussing a riot. The bolts actually have tangs to lock against the frame, but they fall out of position way too easily.

I'm much more fond of the horizontal shim adjustment style....

 

Right ..that's what I meant to say. the tangs - that nut just twists past it.
Does it matter if the weight of the truck is on or off the control arm when torque is set on those 4 huge nuts?

 

If they are the ones that are against the bushings, I think you want the truck at normal ride height before you torque 'em down....
