Spindle and ball joint question
When reinstalling the spindle onto the ball joint should I use an impact to fully seat the spindle onto the ball joint, then loosen the nut and torque Or just torque the nut and that's it? Thanks.

If your wanting it to be correctly torqued just tighten it by hand then torque.

Re: Spindle and ball joint question
and keep in mind that torqued, and still being able to put the cotter pin in, are 2 different things.

Well I'm going to grind away at the powder coat then see where just torquing gets me.
