    Looking for help how to install them properly. Manual says final torque for the nut is 600 ft-pound. Didn't say anything about how to measure knuckle vertical play and install shims. If shim is too thick bearing will be locked. If shim is too thin knuckle will play.
    Thank you.

    So this king from what i have done in the past and experience there is a way to just tight it up and not neccessarily replace it i've only had the need to replace once but usually i take it apart loosen clean it up and reassemble back tight it properly and never had a problem.
