bj torque

what should i torque my ball joints to?? if it makes a difference they're flipped. o and is there something i should torque my escalade rims to?? and 1 last question, i took some things off under the hood to cut out the fenders and a wire came out of somewhere that i don't know but have an idea and just wanted to verify it here. Theres 4 wires(for the spark plugs) coming off the distributor and theres one in the middle that is missing and the wire that came out of somewhere is coming off the ignition coil and it fits in the distributor is that where it goes???

yes, its your coil wire

ok thanks. any answers to the other 2 questions


(i found out that stock escalade torque is 140 pounds and stock mazda b2200 is 85 pounds, should i go inbetween at about 100 or stick with 85?? my guess is 85)

If u look at the bolt head on the bj's it should be numbered,like 6 or 8.The number will tell u the torque setting.PM me with the number and I will look it up in Chiltons.BJ

the number was 8. i dont know if u got the pm because my computer froze. So my other question was about the rims.

torque to mazda specs

I would torque to 100 because the wheels are aluminum.

If i go 100 then wont that put stress on the stock lugs??? or can it handle it.

i wouldnt go anymore than reccomended, it will stress them and then they will break.

according to Chiltons,wheel lugs tighten to 87-108 pounds.ball joint pinch nut 35-38 pounds.Hope this helps.BJ
