Hello members, first post, love the site. On third gen Explorer, '04, what are the torque specs for the rear drive shaft. Both ends are 12mm 12 point bolts. I've seen 18 foot pounds to 90 foot pounds posted. thanks for your help.

I usually just give it a good tug with a 1/2"-drive ratchet. The bolts usually have some sort of threadlock on them so if this is a highway vehicle, then maybe put a bit of threadlock on the bolts before installation.
 






Thanks IZ,
so just some blue thread locker and a strong wrench. I've got a slight vibration that creeps in at 100kmh, so I'm going to try to rotate the drive shaft 180 degrees to the rear diff. Hope it helps.
