CGT/4K nut for ball joint clamp?

[ejfluhr@austin.ibm.com (Fluhr)]

Does a chart exist that lists various grades of nuts/bolts versus what
torque they can hold?

Does anyone know the correct grade for the nuts that attach to the ball
joint clamp on the front suspension of a CGT?

The clamp studs are grade 10.9, but the only locking nuts I can find are
generic (I cannot determine the grade) metric locking nuts.  I have
a problem where my ball joint nuts cannot hold the 47lbs.-ft of
torque specified by the Bentley...they keep stripping.  I am not
sure if the nuts are the problem, or my torque wrench is the culprit.
If the nuts are special 10.9 grade locking nuts, then I will grab some
from the dealer.  If not (and if the generic M10 nuts should be able
to withstand 47lbs.-ft of torque easily), I'll check out my torque
wrench.

Thanks,
Eric
