Topic: Steering Linkage Torque Question (Read 132 times)

I just put the steering linkage back together in my car with new pitman arm, idler arm, tie rod ends and sleeves. I have the car up in the air with jackstands under the K-Frame. I'm wondering if it is OK to torque things down to specs while the front end is in the air or should I do it with it back down off the jackstands, with the weight of the car on things? Or maybe it doesn't matter either way? BTW, the motor is out of the car. Should I wait until that is back in too? Or does it matter? Thanks!

You can torque all that stuff. Just don't tighten the leaf spring hardware until the weight is on the springs.

It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar.

you are good to go with torquing everything up in the air. The only thing I do not torque in the air is the lower control arm studs, but you post does not mention that you messed with them
