I'm in the middle of installing my new front spindles and I haven't bought a service manual for the new truck yet and I need a few torque numbers:

top ball joint
bottom ball joint
hub
calipers

Thanks guys, I'll come back and check for a response in a bit.

 

Wish I knew man..........good luck!

 

should of posted in the lounge prob would of got more responses... unfortuinatly i am not were my manual is so i can not help.

 

I guess I'm not familiar enough with this forum to know where the true wrenchers hang out. I would not have suspected the lounge

I called McGaughy's and they gave me the number to a shop that installs their stuff and they gave me some numbers but they didn't sound all that convincing. I used their numbers but I will verify them all as soon as I can get someone to check a service manual.

Upper Ball Joint - 75#
Lower Ball Joint - 45#
Hub - 110#
Calipers - 110#

I also checked with Helms and they don't even have th 04 available for sale yet. So, is anyone has a 99 and newer service manual and can check the numbers I would be grateful

I did get the front done and the rear shackles last night. I will do the hangers this morning and get some pics up later.

 

Here is the info I was able to pull for a 2003 Silverado. This is for a 4WD.

 

Here are the specs for a 4WD, only the lower ball joint and hub are different between them.

 

Thanks for digging that up for me. It helps and I appreciate it.

 

it is not that it is that more people view the lounge than this forum. and normaly for some info like that you will get more replies in there.

o and lets see some pics

Edit: just saw your other post with pics.

 

When you said you had torsion bars I also assumed that your truck was 4WD. Here are the specs for a 2WD truck.

 

Thanks for digging those up for me. I actually took it to my alignment/suspension shop for an alignment today and I had them double check all the torque values and adjust the torsion bars. It looks perfect right now, nice and level. I'll get some new pics up later this week but I'm very pleased overall.
