Tore my front end apart to give my Kota some much needed new parts. Both outer tie rod ends are being replaced (inners are solid) and all 4 ball joints are being replaced (upper control arms for your upper ball joints). It's all going surprisingly smooth. Very minimal rust for a Michigan truck. Seems my wife's Uncle rarely drove it in the winter. But, I do need to know if anybody has torque Specs for both upper and lower ball joint castle nuts, tie rod end castle nuts, upper control arm nuts and the axle/hub spline nut. Then I can wrap this little project up.

 

I just run 'em in nice and tight, and then tighten a bit more to get the hole for the cotter key lined up.
