Re: ls balljoints

Since the service manual expects you to replace the knuckle with the ball joint as an assembly it doesn't break out the torque spec for the ball joint separately. I believe the torque spec you are after is:
Suspension lower arm-to-knuckle nut - 150 Nm, 111 Lb-Ft

As for the ball joint tapered stud size, I'm not sure. I have a couple of new ones in the garage for a 2002 LS. Are you ordering by application or trying to pick something from a catalog? I wasn't aware there were two different sizes of lower ball joints available for the LS.
