Duffer, Ideas/thoughts/manufacturer's specs will abound! I, personally, torque them to 5 to 10 Ft Lbs. There should be NO free play in order to keep them from "wobbling" around & causing the hub races from "eating" up the hubs & also to keep the toe in stable. Think of the weight & stresses that depend on the bearings being adjusted properly. Bill W.
