Rear wheel wobble.

Not arguing hear Will from CSC tell me the axle nut 200 But at that rate what's the difference 185 - 200 , My hub bearings bolts I torqued at 45 . I used a allen socket .

Hopefully I didn't come off argumentative either, I had just come across conflicting although minor differences. Just trying to get all my ducks in a row before the reassembly. Thanks

NO NO I didnt mean that. Talk to 20 different people you get 25 different story's, Do what you think is right make sure everything is torqued & your good to go.

Ask Will???

Maybe email Will @CSC and see what he says on the torque specs?

Too late. I got it done. I ended up doing 70 ft lbs on the mounting bolts and 185 ft lbs on the shaft nut. I just felt 45 ft lbs on the mounting bolts wasn't going to be enough. I used the Honda Moly 60 on the splines because that what gets used for the Honda driveshaft splines and then used some bearing grease on part of the face of the knuckle and around rhe hole. The only hitch was one of the caliper bolts. It started off fine but then got real tight and I was worried I was cross threading it. I pulled it out and saw it needed some cleaning up so I hit it with some brake cleaner and a wire brush. That did the trick. I did do the brake cleaner and wire brush on all the mounting bolts because they were obvious in needing to be cleaned up but the caliper bolts except for one were all good.

I got it out for a quick ride and she's fixed! Woo-hoo! Big difference! No high speed vibration anymore. She's ready for the trip down to South Eastern Missouri next week. Very happy I saw this thread and found out what the problem was. The job was actually one of the more easy ones I've had to do. Next up is checking the valve clearances. Hopefully I can find the time before I leave next Wed to get that done too...

The reason I went 45 ft pds going into a aluminum knuckle I was afraid of ripping the threads out of the aluminum at 70 pounds I also used a little blue lock Tite .

Oops, I knew I forgot something, the lock tite, but I really don't want to dive back in there again. Hopefully going with the 70 ft lbs will be enough on its own. I will keep an eye on it and see how it works out. I think I should be fine but have to remember this if I need to do this again.
