chevy d44 ball joint question???

cmartin · 07-17-2011, 09:12 PM

I have 44's and I had to put a jack under the bottom of the knuckle to hold it in place in the c's torque the lower ball joint and the castle nut with a ball joint spanner wrench then torque the upper nut and put the cotter pin in. Can't remember the ft/lbs off hand and you need a special socket you can get it at napa. As far as alignment my jeep is trail only so I have no clue. Hope this helps I can get the torque specs if you still need them
