Rear Suspension Components Torque Settings

Post by dirtbiker3 » Mon Aug 05, 2013 4:58 pm

I have recently replaced my rear subframe bushes all round and next on my to do list is the rear ball joints along with the link rods, front and back upper rear control arms and the tie rods. The question I have is, does anyone know the torque values of the nuts?

Also, what are peoples thoughts on re-using the old nuts/bolts?

From the picture I am interested in items: Bolts 5, 7, 12, 21 / Nuts 10, 14

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Also I have a Rear subframe bush removal tool for hire at a decent rate ;-)Image
