<< Hi folks
Where does one find fastener torquing specs for Task Force trucks? I wanted
to button down the U-bolts holding the springs to the axle housing on the
rear of my truck. I checked both the Assembly manual, and the Repair manual
both without success. The Assy manual says nothing and the Repair says
something like "tighten sufficiently" - I'm sure my wife and I would come
up with different torque values that would meet that requirement.
On a second note: Adjusting steering boxes. You're supposed to move the
sector gear in or out to obtain a pull at the steering wheel of two some
odd pounds. I'm assuming (oh no!) that this means with the wheels off the
ground but it didn't seem to say that. I don't think I could ever get
things that easy even with power steering, with the wheels touching terra
firma. Good assumption? Anyone?

Don't know if I'm right or wrong, but I've always torqed Ubolts to 75
ft/lbs on pickup and car's.
