Moog Track Bar Nut Torque

I just picked up a 97 Ram 3500 4x4 with the CTD. I noticed the track bar is worn and have a new Moog Problemsolver track bar to install. There is a card in the little parts bag that says the torque on the nut is higher than stock. It fails to specify what that torque is. Can anyone tell me what that higher torque value is?

Thanks,

I just got the same card with my Moog today. Anyone have any idea what the torque specs were changed to?

LOL, I tightened mine TIGHT........

Not sure how tight, but trust me, it isn't going anywhere.

Sorry but I had the same dilemma, and that's the only way I got it back together that night, been good for over a year now.

My 98 service manual says that the ball stud nut torque is 70 ft lbs and the axle bracket bolt torque is 130 ft lbs.Hope this helps.
