i had some installation instructions when i did my dana 44 cad ball joints.

same as everyone else,tighten the bottom first then do the preload.

in the instructions...... i remember 40 ft. lbs. and something else was 70 ft. lbs.

cant remember what was what though but i do remember the instructions were close to the haynes manual

haynes manual says:
lower ball joint nut, 80 ft. lbs.
upper sleeve, 40 ft. lbs.
upper stud nut, 100 ft. lbs.
