Pitman Arm nut
I can not find the torque spec for the pitman arm nut. Does anyone know this?

Ford Service Manual specifies 105 - 135
I also paint mark that nut so it's easy to see if it backs off. I've had it happen several times and the paint mark is easy to check and good piece of mind.
I've had several pitman arms that had been over torqued and the nut would actually bottom on the threads and not actually tighten the arm on it's taper. When this happened the arm would slowly rock on the splines and loosen the nut up. Just got another one from Bronco Hut and this one is finally staying tight.
