Torque Settings

snowonfire · 13th July 2018, 09:20

Morning All...

Our 75 went in for its MOT and failed on the rear upper arms.
Surprised at how simple the job can be if everything goes smoothly.
However, when the inner captive nut just spins.. It becomes a bit of a pig - I tried not to drop the frame but it had to be done.
Everything is ready to be torqued up but I cant seem to find a list of rear suspension torque values. Would anyone be able to assist?

TIA

Anti roll bar mounting clamp bolts 25 - 18
Hub Nut 210 - 155
Lower arm to sub frame (inboard bolt) 120 - 89
Lower arm to trailing arm nut and bolt 100 - 74
Shock absorber lower mounting bolt 155 - 114
Trailing arm bracket and upper mounting bolts 100 - 74
Upper arm to sub frame (inboard bolt) 120 - 89
Upper arm to trailing arm nut and bolt 100 - 74

Thank You Dave...

I managed to find a PDF document in the files section of the 75 and ZT facebook help page - This contains all of the torque settings for the whole car. Lets hope no more captive nuts decide to give up whilst torqueing up

I don't have a R75 Haynes Manual - Hence asking the question
