Front wheel bearing torque setting ?

Hi All
My steering has started to wander a bit and been told it could be loose bearings/hubs after 4wd session. What is the correct torque setting to give it a tweak. I plan to pull them apart to check them as both caps are damaged and have leaked. Surface under the hub bolt is rusted so suspect bearings may not be too flash.
Also, do the sell new metal caps (that protect bearings, not trim) or do i just go 2nd hand?

Thanks... Dave

The caps are available from Toyota only as far as I know. The part number is 4351428010 and around $30 each.
The torque on the hub nut is 294Nm or217ft lb. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply. Might go brand new on the covers and clean up the hubs while Im changing bearings. Last for years then....I hope.

Sorry Theres no giving them a tweak.

If it has play in it you need a new bearing assembly.

235nm is the torque & a 35mm socket.
