Why in the hell is it impossible to find the official torque specs for the Gladiator’s tie rod and drag link connections?

+1 to this question. Anyone have this info?

@JeepersKreepers FYI if you still need it. I can’t remember who provided this but it was from a well known member of the forum

If you use Google instead of the Board's "search" function, you'll get much better results.

I was wondering is the torque spec for the draglink 21mm nut to the passenger side knuckle 30ftlbs +125 degrees?

Can anyone verify if this is correct?

Exact torque specs sometimes doesn't applied to cotter pin and castle nuts application. Just torque it to 30ft lb then line it to the next hole, it can takes another 20-40ft.

Thank you for replying. However that nut actually doesn’t have a castle nut or cotter pin, it’s a regular nut with nylon locking threads at the end. I just ended up torquing it to 30 ft lbs plus an additional 125 degrees hopefully that’s the correct torque for it.

My bad. I assumed that they were aftermarket bars.

I removed the draglink from the knuckle to get clearance for a Teraflex trackbar relocation bracket that I had to drill two 1/2” holes to mount it. But realized that I could have just probably turned the steering wheel a bit and would have not had to remove the draglink from the knuckle.
