Question Rear axle hub nut torque?
Does anyone know the specified torque for the Dana 70 rear axle hub nut. I have a crapy Haynes manual and it shows 120 ft-lbs, but this seems way too tight when I did it. This manual does not say to tighten and back off. I am looking to see what the Dodge manual shows.

The torque numbers just ensure the hub bearing seats then you back it off and tighten again to able the bearing to be snug but not binding.
