New spindle nuts came with the drive axles. I replaced both just to be safe...... and they were torqued down to 100 ft lbs if I remember correctly. I did notice that when I took the spindle nut off, it was loose. Bought new Ford spindle nuts which are quite thicker than what came with the drive axles.... Checked the other side and it was tight to say the least so I left it alone....
Care drives perfect now but was just amazed at this....Did get my wheel bearing refund but paid through the nose for the new hub from Ford.
