RADIUS ARM BUSHINGS

How tight should the nut be that holds the radius arm bushing in place be ? I have found that on one side my wheel sits 1 inch farther back than the other.on the side that sits farthest from the fender the arm bushing isnt as squashed as the other side. its not lose but it isnt pulled down as tight as the other side.the truck dosent pull to one side or the other it dosent wander around on the road either. is there a torque seting they are set to? I broke a socket trying to loosen the nut ! couldnt tighten it either. Oh its never been wrecked either. any suggestions thanks in advance. 82-F-100
