Anyone have torque specs on t bucket components

[putz]

Ok lets get serious there probably is specs for important pieces like tie rod ends,King pin bolts and other suspension bolts .So you don't have binding.What do you tighten the kingpin bolt to?

I have to add one more to the thread. My late Dad was an aircraft mechanic during the war, a machinist, and a mechanic, specialized in auto trans, before moving to management in the local electrical utility and never owned a torque wrench. He built engines people would praise while working at the local Ford dealers. The electrical utilty came to the dealer and ask if he would come to work for them. He said, yes if you hire my brother. They worked together until then. The utility said he was too old and they could not hire him. My Dad so, no thanks then. The utility said, OK we will hire him too. I am sure the U S Navy had torque wrenches, but while growing up, going to work with him, while a kid, and repairing any and everything all out lives, I never saw him use a torque wrench. He helped me learn to set up gears in rear axles, also, tighten down vavle bodies in old Fordomatics and Cruise o Matics. He did have a special tool with a built in torque setting for adjusting the bands on auto transmissions. I don't guess I'm saying anything about torquing down stuff, I am just proud of my Dad and what he could do.

In the old days when we needed a wee bit more power we'd "tip the can" meaning we'd put more nitro in the tank.... the hydrometer would about jump out of the beaker.

So in those days, the rule was; If some is good, more is better and too much is just right.

Not so when tightening bolts. After breaking off a stud (it might have been defective) in a head that cost a bunch to have removed, I don't over tighten anything. Take a look at some torque specs......... Oh, I guess that was what the original question was about.... and see that putting a leg over the wrench isn't good sport.... well as compared to a wench, which is a different story all together.

What's up??? You missed something between:
"60 to 75 ft/lbs BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP "
and:
"75 to 90 ft/lbs BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP!"
Is that the missing metric settings??
Or do you have the dreaded HF gun?

Just to let you know, I haven't lost my touch. I went up town this evening to shoot in pool league. The bar owner threw me out over something I had posted about his dump on Facebook. As you can tell I'm devastated.
