Front End Noise - Low Speed Turning

[harrykon]

That sounds like an oxymoron. I've had my truck for over 10 years now and I've had the front end apart and back together many many times. Not once have I ever put any anti-seize or lock tight on the bolts. I just torque the axle nut to 100ft lbs and its fine.

Getting ready to do this myself next week with Timken $110 from a local supplier through Amazon (no tax or shipping!).

The spec calls for 250ft lbs on the axle nut; I think that's crazy high, but it is a spec. No issues at a 100 though???? What did you torque the three 15mm bolts through the knuckle into the hub to? The spec, i think, was 72 - 97 ft lbs...

I did the axle nut to 100 and its fine, the other three I went at 90 and that seems ok,I didnt have a lift so working from the ground on axle stands made it a bit difficult.

btw I think I need to move to the states,I cant believe how bad I got bent over on that part

I just did the hub bearing on my 01 ST. Got it at Rock Auto. Timken for $120. Ordered it regular freight and had it the next day.

I just do it very hard. I've only used my torque wrench on my axle nut and wheel nuts.
