Hope this helps
if it is a 4WD this is the info
Bolt the unit bearing hub in to the new knuckle using red Loctite and torque to 80 ft/lb
torque the axle nut to 190 ft/lb
Thanks very much SKRWZ info is much appreciated. THis one is only torqued to 100. maybe thats why they dont last.

Even something as simple as overtightening Lug Nuts can greatly reduce wheel bearing life.

I don't understand how. Please elaborate.
