[QUOTE="JimLor, post: 295439, member: 442"] ...and the rest of the story. I took Warchild's advice and increased the final torque of the bearings to 25lbft. Better but still somewhat vague. Sat down, stared off into space and considered what was going on. Headslap, original initial torq 37 / final 13. Roughly a 3:1 ratio. Mine, with the increase of final torq to 25 was 43, about 1.7/1. Soooooo, one more time removing upper bracket, I tightned initially to 52lbft and final to 26lbft. Went for a ride and it's much better, no more "vague" feeling in the front. Again, this is a worthwhile change, not that hard to do, and actually kinda fun! [/QUOTE]
