Putting a tubular k member and a arms on a foxbody. Does anyone know what to torque the nut to where the a arms connect to the spindle, and also the nut for the tie rod ends. Or should I not worry about torquing them and just tighten them. Thanks

If you're talking about the castellated nut on the outer tie rod ends, I just tighten it as tight as it will go by hand and still have the hole line up with a slot in the castellations, so the cotter pin will still go. The BJ nut I just hit with the impact gun, because I can never keep it from just spinning by hand.
