Got the right knuckle on.
Question: The FSM says the bearing pre-load on the knuckle should be between 4 and 8 lbs. After torquing the bearing cap bolts to about 75 ft/lbs my new fish scale indicates a pre-load of only about 2.5 lbs.
My Haynes manual says that if the bearing pre-load is less than 3.9lbs I should add an equal amount of shim top and bottom to get it w/in spec or I will get excessive wear and shake during cornering.
Does this jive with everyone? My rebuild kit came with additional shims... should i take the trouble of taking the caps off again and putting the shims in?
