Well im putting my 5lug front hubs on right now. I have the nut that goes on the out side to tighten the hub down, But i dont remeber if there were any washers or anything that goes on before or after the hub. Before the nut goes on.
Please help

Thanks
 
Yes, a machined spacer or a stack of washers at .330" will do the trick. It goes on before the nut and after the spindle arm.

From sn95brakes.com: "For 79-93 cars, Balljoint spacer or stack of 3 washers totaling .330" in height or press in Sn95 balljoints to the stock arms (MOOG brand)"

So you could also just get new balljoints and skip that, but it's much easier/quicker to use the spacers.
 
No there is no washer to go on but make sure you get a new nut with the cage on it. They are a one time use thing from what I understand. Also the torque spec is something like 250 lbs on it hope that helps

250 lbs? Does that seem really high?
 
yes...that is definetly high. torque spec is something like 20 ft/lbs while turning the rotor and than loosen 1/4 turn and tighten to 12-17 in/lbs or finger tight. its something like that. but yes, there is a washer that is supposed to go on there. and get a cage and cotter pin
