I remember on the S1 it was something mental like 220 NM so definitely worth checking if its this high for the VX.
Sorry I cant help further.

220Nm is the torque required on the rear, i would do the same on front.

FT will do imho... Since most tubbies arent even fitted with them, you could probably get away with just doing them up finger tight lmao

These are in to support the front hub and stop it collapsing in hard corners. Only required on NA's as tubby's are too fat to corner hard. FT is a good approach although I did mine to the TIS torque (210 NM).

Plus they have a locking pin through the nut anyway.
... Or is that just the rear?
