What is the torque setting for these bolts when it'stime to reconnect the rear end again ? If it was the four bolts that connect the rear u-joint to the flange on the differential, the service manual for my 2002 E-450 lists the torque as 83 ft-lb (112 Nm). I hope whoever removed the driveshaft marked the correct alignment before disconnecting the driveshaft. Not keeping the same alignment could result in a driveshaft balance problem.Art
