Front End Torque Specs

[JD fixes it]

Please forgive me if this has been previously addressed...I put the MotoFab 2" level kit on my 2020 1500 Bighorn 4X4 and it looks great, but the directions had very limited info on torque values when putting the front end back together. Does anyone have or know where I can find these values?

Upper Control Arm Bolts / Nuts
Upper Ball Joint Nut
Tie Rod Ball Joint Nut (Where it meets knuckle)
Lower Shock Mount Bolt / Nut
Sway Bar Links
Brake Caliper Bolts

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank you! I don't see the tie rod listed unless that's what they mean by "Strut Rod Nut"

yeah, does anyone happen to know the torque for the tie rod to knuckle?

 

[BilletMotoRam]

37ft lbs + 180

37ft lbs + 180

Sounds like everything torqued in the last 20 years.

To all future onlookers, I finally figured it out. Had a buddy at a ram dealership pull the specs but it didnt mention the "tie rod to knuckle" nut torque anywhere. after so extensive evaluation, it turns out the stock nut used on the tie rod is the exact same as the one used on the ball joint in the upper control arm, hence the same torque. The stock nut (Mopar 6506557AA) is non-reusable so that sucks but the torque value is 26 ft-lbs + 180 degrees.

so you should use new nuts for Ball Joint and shock mount?

Man, there are a LOT of trucks out there that have reused the nuts. Mine included.
