Apologies for the double post in the Sedan forum:

I'm in the middle of upgrading my suspension and just realized I don't know the torque specs for the front upper control arm (the one with the cotter pin). Does anybody know this???

 

Townsley: PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the specs from the technical manual.

 

Why don't you just post the torque specs here?
Why are some of you so protective of your info? SHARE your info and experience!

that's what these forums are about... no?

I just hand tightened mine gently and put a new cotter pin on cause it wasn't
that tight when I removed the nut..

 

Nut with cotter pin:
54-63.7 Nm
5.6-6.4 kg-m
40-46 ft-lb

Two bolts at pivot point:
50-60 Nm
5.1-6.1 kg-m
37-44 ft-lb

 

Thanks.
