Front wheel hub bearing bolt torque spec

[VictorH]

Anyone know the torque spec for the Mach 1 front wheel hub-bearing bolts? Can't seem to find that info anywhere and I'd like to get things assembled this weekend (today). Any ideas or suggestions? Much appreciated, thanks.

Chose what I thought would be a happy medium 85 ft lb. Spec for that bolt looks to be between 80 and 95 ft lb, though not "official" from manual.

Crap, can't find anything on it, searched everywhere.

Can you share why you felt the need to change?
How many track miles if that's it?
Felt it loose on periodic check?

Just trying to get idea of wear items and intervals

We need go stick that in the main suspension thread here: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/gt-suspension-torque-numbers.47084/

I’m surprised it wasnt there, but nope didnt see it.

Good luck with torquing. I was able to get my torque wrench to three of the 4 bolts, but that fourth one, just kind of had to get it to what felt right with a ratchet wrench.

-Was able to get the 4th bolt, I think the one your talking about is the front lower bolt. Was able t o use a swivel socket to torque that one, agree can't get it with a regular socket and extension.

-Had abnormal, changes with speed noise, coming from the front.
-Don't know miles but 6 or so track days and 7,000 miles total
-Not loose actually tight and soft popping noise on hand spin and took a few miles to warm up and make noise on the street
-I think the factors were #1 partially a fluke, #2 I hit a really big pothole 3 weeks ago or so, #3 car gets some track use and I run -3.2 neg camber
-link to other thread, didn't intend to have two threads on this but was hoping someone would have torque value

How are you getting that much neg camber? I need to get more for track use on mine.

The manual for the SVT Performance package says 98 lb.ft. That's all I could find

111 ft-lbs?

Steeda told me 70-75 ft-lbs when I bought the Mach 1 knuckle/hub kit from them. It's been through a track day since then and all seems good, but I feel like I should get in there and tighten them up.

Fronts are 111, rears are 98

Yep, their kit is the fronts.

Remember.....those bolts are single use ! The tech at Ford showed me my old ones compared to new ones....they stretch!
