before fully tightening the bolts and nuts to the specified torque values.
-
Tighten all the mounting hardware to the specified torque values.
-
Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when installing the knuckle.

Before connecting the ball joint to the knuckle, degrease the threaded section and tapered portion of the ball joint pin, the connecting hole, and
the threaded section and mating surface of the castle nut.

Torque the castle nut to the lower torque specification, then tighten it only far enough to align the slot with the ball joint pin hole. Do not align
the castle nut by loosening it.

Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces of the brake disc/drum and the inside of the wheel.
-
Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.
