In reading in the FSM, it sounds like the ball joint is supposed to rotate
with turning torque very easily (between 2.6 and 26 in-lbs). But, again
in the FSM, the nut that binds the ball joint to the tie rod is supposed to
be torqued to 33-44 ft-lbs. Now, I haven't yet tested this because
currently I haven't located the nuts and cotter pins that my helper
misplaced, but I can spin the ball joint threaded part by hand (which
makes sense, according to the FSM turning torque). I don't understand
how it would be possible to torque the nut that goes on the ball joint to
33+ ft-lbs. Am I missing something?
I thought that possibly there was a way to secure the ball joint, but I
can't find anything in the FSM, and it doesn't look like there's any way to
secure it.
