What's the year and engine? Don't know if the engine makes a difference (unless it's the SHO) and doesn't hurt to have the info. Also, specify rear disc or drum brakes.
On a 2002 Taurus sedan or wagon with rear disc or drum brakes, the spindle nut is to be torqued to 221 lb-ft. For a 1998 with rear disc or drum brakes, the torque spec is 188-254 lb-ft.
