Probably. LOL.

Officially, it's around 15ft-lb.

Or gorillanut tight.

I always tighten all 4, then go back and put about 1/8-1/4 more, if I can get it to a 1/4.

If I remember when I get home, I can get the rear U-joint part number. I replaced mine with a Spicer for the hell of it when I got my driveshaft shortened.
