98 chevy blazer 4.3 4x4 4dr   does anyone know or know where i can find the torque spec for my axle hub nut  i need to do a lower balljoint and dont wanna just zap it back on with my impact gun.     also has anyone ever heard of a mildto bad vibration from the rear  between 50 60 mph and the speedo needle shakes while it does this and the other gages are fine  any intel would be greatly appreciated

How do they settle on all these torque values...I mean 103??  I guess 104 ft/lbs was just too tight..might strip a thread, but 102..yep that sucker would work itself right off the axle

The 103FtLbs is from the conversion from metric - 140Nm == 103FtLbs.  The torque value is a baseline value calculated from the number of threads engaged, the diameter of the threads, and the loads associated with the connection.

Ahhhh so there's a formula!  I feel better about GM now..no arbitrary values

Well, atleast that is what I do...  It also highly depends on the two materials.
