[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 5584025, member: 6247"] I have the official Ford factory issue CD repair manual and it specifies 250# for both the front hubs and the rear knuckle bearings. I don't think 10# means a hill of beans at this point. It's less than a 5% difference. Most 1/2" torque wrenches I have seen go to 250#. FWIW For street driven Cobras, front hubs should go 20 or 30k easily. It's when you take them to the track (not the drag strip) and run an R compound tire or slick is when you'll toast them in 3-7k depending on how hard you're pushing them. To check front or rear, jack up the car and try to wiggle the tire. If you have play, you need an assistant to crawl under the car and look for where the play is. Is it in the hub, upper or lower knuckle eye joint, inner or outer toe link? Not too hard to find actually! :thumbsup: :coolman: :beer: [/QUOTE]
