I finished putting on my new King pins and bushing. While I had it apart I went ahead and changed out the tie rod ends. While I'm in there I may as well take the drag link apart, clean and inspect. It looks fine, so now its time to go back together. So I'm looking for the torque setting or rule of thumb as to how tight to tighten them.

As usual I'm look for advice.

Thanks

 

There is no torque setting.
The procedure is to tighten the plug as tight as you can to sure the spring is fully compressed. back off the plug to the first cotter key hole and install the cotter key. Be sure to get the springs in correctly, they are different from one end to the other.

 

That's kind of where I was. I just wanted to hear if from some one else to. I couldn't find anything different with the springs. They were the same on both ends. There was no tapper, ID and OD are the same and the spring wire diameter was the same.

Thanks for the help

 

The springs are the same, but they install differently from one end to the other end. See the factory manual.
