driveshaft locknut torque/squeeling trouble

Post by oh-hell »

i have the book but its confusing me. im trying to find the torque spec to torque them properly due to a noise sounding like brake squeeling. i alwready know they arnt but whats the sound its making.? also the frount disks are about 10-15 deg hotter than the rear so all i can thing is that i over torqued them. the book has 235-319, 24.0-32.5, 174-235. So any SURE or the proper torque and/or have an idea what the problem could be?

174-235 ft/lbs sounds correct to me

squeeling is normally brakes, check the flimsy metal shield isnt touching the rotor anywhere and making noise, that has happend to me before
