Have been getting various recommendations on how many foot pounds should be exerted on the front and on the rear wheel stud nuts.  The advice has ranged form 120 ft pounds to 350 ft pounds including different recommendations for front and rear.  Anyone out there able to clear this up for me?

From the Dodge shop manual for the 77 MB300 page 22-8:
front (single wheel) 85-125ft-lbs
rear (dual wheel) 300-350 ft-lbs
hope this helps
