I'm 8 and 1/2 months pregnant and they said its completely unsafe to drive.. So I need to replace the missing washers and then tighten all the bolts extra tight.. Does anyone know about how many pounds of torque is necessary and safe specifically for "axle bolts"? And what tool can be used to tighten/loosen these bolts? The truck is lifted, so I'm able to see the bolts fairly easily if I stick my head into the wheele-wale and look down.. Also, can I just get any type of washer and use that? If it fits I mean.. Or is there a specific type of washer that's made for JUST for axle's?? Thanx</p></blockquote><p></p>
