G-force axle nut torque

[Fopar]

Hey guys,

Got a new set of outlaws here. I searched and it seems at some point they recommended 85 FT-LB, but have since changed it? What is the current recommendation for axle nut torque? (These are finer pitch than the factory axle nuts for those not sure why I'm asking) 24x1.5 vs 24x2.

Factory spec is something like 250 ft/lb. I would think the torque should be the same with any axle to give the proper pre-load on the wheel bearing. Maybe give them a call tomorrow to confirm.

I installed these over the winter, I thought they came with a paper that said 240 ft/lb but I could be wrong. My torque wrench only went to 150 so I did that then gave it all I had with a breaker bar checked a few 100mi later and still tight as can be with some hard pulls.

Well I finally got a response from them, they claimed factory spec minus 10%... so 240-24=216...
