    9766B513-B54F-461E-A39C-ECAF5D63DEE6.jpeg Hello all,

    I know it’s not a totally critical spec but is there a specific Torque for knuckle seal/felt bolts?

    Or just snug?

    I can’t seem to find it notes anywhere.

    PS yes this is an old picture and have a cleaned up and new parts.

    Do you have a TSM? It's usually in a table at the end of the section.

    This is from the '72 manual, and does not include the 25 or 27. The Wagoneer had a closed 30 in '72.

    I torqued mine to the FSM spec and didn’t like how the felt seals got squished so I backed them off until they were snug but the plates were not deformed...time will tell if that was the right call.

    If you use one page, one time, it will repay you.
