Ford 9'' Help????

hi
i need some advise, i am getting conflicting info and i need to know whats right.
9'' third member rebuild when the main caps are torqued down can the bearing races + adjusters move by hand, i was told in used cases its not uncommon to see this, but that does'nt seem right to me, but i have never rebuilt a 9'' before so i dont know.
if anydody knows whats right i would be grateful.
thanks
jerry

My reference states that the torque for the main bearing caps in the 9" Ford is 75-85 ft. lbs.

They shouldn't be that loose. If they were, they'd spin on their own. There should also be a locking finger on each side that goes under one cap bolt and into one of the holes in the adjuster to keep it from moving. With that in place, even if it was loose, you wouldn't be able to turn it.

Hope this helps.
