Breaker! Breaker!
I would have to refer to my Haynes manual when I get home tomorrow, but I think it's about like the 4x4 lock nut - 100 ft. lbs.

what is the spindle nut torque spec? it was super lose it came off hand tight.
As already stated several times, balljoints and wheel bearings should be checked.
I worked on these things for years and have a question for you.
When you pull the vehicle forward they straightened up substantially if not completely, correct?
When you back it up, like up the driveway they then really lay out right?
Replace your I-beam and Radius Arm Pivot bushings.
The i-beam suspension on these will allow them to splay out slightly and gets worse as the bushings wear.
I've replaced hundreds of these.
I HIGHLY recommend using urethane bushings. You will never wear them out and the suspension will feel tighter.
Worked in a mine taking car of a Ford fleet and had vehicles with over 100k of off-road "it's company truck so it can go faster, hit bumps harder" driving.
They hit things so hard they'd explode radius arm brackets and crack frames
