Outer spindle nut on an '88 is spec'd at around 160 ft/lbs. :shocked: It's critical if the factory auto-locing hubs are still in use...
 
If its the inner spindle nut your working on then it should be torqued to 50 ft/lbs. Then backed off, then re-torqued to 35 ft lbs, then backed off 3/8 of a turn.

The outer nut is somewhere between 160-180 ft lbs.
