need torque specs on knuckles and spindles!

[johnnybgood74]

hey fella's! i need to know if there is a torque spec on the ball joints or do i just get it tight and throw a cotter pin through it and call it good? also, i need a torque on the spindle nuts where they mate against the knuckles.

thanks guys!

Ball joints
first, lower nut to 70-90 ft-lb
second, the adjuster sleeve to 40 ft-lb
third, upper nut to 100 ft-lb.

When done it should not take more then 26 LB of force at the tie rod hole (no tie rod connected) to move the knuckle.
