Thanks for the info!

Actually, 5-600 ft lbs isn't hard to do, tractor trailer lug nuts are often in the 450-500ft-lb range. A 3/4" drive torque wrench should cover that high a torque.

Guess I'll tear into in the next couple weeks when I get some time, see and go through it, then get the alignment done. Being in rust country, it's always cheaper for me to spend time freeing frozen/rusted bolts than to pay hourly shop rates for them to do it.
