Just a quick look over your list there, it looks like probably everyone of these have an entire thread already dedicated to the particular project. Use the search at the top right and you should be able to find everything you're looking for and more.

I'm a firm believer that you should make it stop, before you make it go.

I'd go after the brakes first.

Go under the search function, go to advanced search, and search by user, and put the key words "4x4" and "PCM" in as well. That will show you any threads with posts he made with those words in them

Bearing and hub are pressed in, no bolts to torque

 

[kvue1989]

Hub and bearing assembly bolts = 83 ft-lbs

Is that for the front or the rear.

 

[kvue1989]

1. How much torque need it for the front.
2. How much torque need it for the rear.

 

[matt0248]

1. How much torque need it for the front.
2. How much torque need it for the rear.

1) Manjina gave you the torque spec fo rthe three front bolts for the hub and bearing assembly its 83 ft/lbs.

2). THE REAR BEARINGS ARE NOT HELD IN WITH BOLTS THEY ARE PRESSED INTO THE KNUCKLE> THERE IS NOTHING ON TH EHUB TO TORQUE.

Please Help Need Some Torque Info:

1. Both Front Sway Bar - How Much
2. Front Axle Nut - How Much
3. Rear Axle Nut - How Much

 

[Ronin8002]

What's the torque for the front sway bar?

The mounting brackets, or the end links?

 

[kvue1989]

The mounting brackets, or the end links?

Yea its the sway bar end link

Until the bushings begin to bulge. If you overtighten them, you risk crushing the bushing or pulling it through.
