Proper axle torquing procedures
It is imperative that you follow the manufacturer's specifications to insure the axle is installed correctly. Failure to follow the manufacture's procedures can result in failure of your new axle & hub bearing.
One of the most common mistakes during installation is improper torque of the axle spindle nut. Over torque of the axle spindle nut can cause the bearing and axle to overheat , which will dramatically reduce the life of your new axle & hub bearing assembly.
While it may appear to be easier to use an impact wrench , it is not recommended.
Every vehicle has specific torque specifications , and it will be listed after the axle part number.
New axle failure may also be caused buy broken or worn engine or transmission mounts.
