Im about to replace all the bearings and ball joints up front on my 85 K10and most of its straight forward and a lot I picked up from past threads here. That said, there are still a couple things I need more clarification on before I start so any advise is appreciated.
1- What does the upper ball joint adjustment do? Camber? Is it a critical adjustment? Any details about this particular area will be useful.
2- I read somewhere about torque values and the pasted instructions had a separate torque value for the inner and outer hub bearings? Did I completely miss something or doesn't the same two nuts jammed together with the washer in between secure both bearings? Where are separate values coming from?
3- Do most of you force as much grease as possible into the hub after the bearings are packed? Like literally taking up all empty space with grease? Can too much grease make the locker not function properly?
