Does anyone know the factory torque specs for the steering wheel bolt? Thanks in advance

Anyone noticed any “play” between the wheel hub and the shaft when reinstalled and torqued?
It’s dang near foolproof with the hex-shaped end of the shaft and the hex opening of the wheel hub itself.
But I have a degree or two of loose play now that I can watch happen in real time with the airbag out of the way.
It’s like the wheel “clocks” just a bit before the hex pieces catch. Enough so that it feels scary while driving.
It all started with a broken clock spring and everything was quite easy and simple to do.
I’m out of ideas here, wondering why there is play now and none prior.

FWIW it feels and seems like the slippage is on the tapered part.

here's the wheel i had done by carbontastic. it might sound silly, but i've had this done on my last 6 or so cars and it's the best upgrade ever. The stock steering wheel on the bronco feels horrible.
