I'm almost done on my 2wd 2001 XJ front ball joint and wheel hub replacements. I've seen the torque specs for the 36mm axle nut is 175 lbs but it seems pretty high for a 2wd axle stub that serves limited purpose. Also, the axle nuts came off with relative ease so I'm curious if the torque was that high originally.
Does anyone know if that torque spec is correct for a 2wd front axle nut?
Also, more for curiosity sake, what purpose does the axle stubs serve and what could happen if under torqued?
Thanks!
