Pivot bearings
My project has been taking a 6" skyjacker lift of the 95 F150. Been tinkering with if for a good while. I have a question that relates to the pivot bearing as I have been told a few different ways to tighten them and to what torque.
95 150 4.9L 2WD
it is all back together, going in for an alignment. how do I torque the pivot bearings, and to what spec?
what torque do I do on the radius arm nut (I replaced the bushings as well)?
Thanks fellas

First off, what are you referring to as a "pivot bearing"? The axle pivot is a rubber (or polyurethane) bushing. There is no bearing there. I'm out of town so best I can suggest it to search previous threads for the torque specs.

That is what I have heard other folks reference it, I could be wrong.....
Yes at the end of the front axel, I am aware that there is no bearing but rather a rubber bushing. It is the pivot point, at one end is the front wheel and the opposite is a bolt with a rubber grommet/bushing. Need the spec for that bolt, and was wondering if it matters if it needs to be torqued with the wheel off the ground or not.
Soory if I was not clear, never done this sort of work before.
