Front end torque specs 78-81
I was going to finish up and torque all the nuts on the front end on the 81's freshen up so pull out my 78 and 81 manuals. Different numbers!!
Pitman arm to steering box '78 140ft-lbs , 81 192ft-lbs! Tie rod ends at the spindle 78 -35ft-lbs, 81 37 ft-lbs Tie rod ends at center link-same sized stud and nut both 60 ft-lbs- a bunch more that 35-37 for the same sized deal. Idler arm to center link 78 40ft-lbs, pitman to center link 78 45ft-lbs. 81 pitman to center link 40ft-lbs. So numbers all over the place for the same sized nut/stud on center link and tie rod ends, not to mentin the big difference on the sterring box.
