Lower ball-joint torque settings
David Jenkins - 18/11/02 at 09:03 AM

Folks,

I'm about to fix the ball joints onto the lower susp. arm, hopefully never to be removed again !

Can anyone suggest a torque setting for these bolts? There are 2 at 3/8"UNC and 2 at 1/2"UNC.

rgds,

David

Tighten them to FT. They will be properly torqued if you do this.

I prefer the BF&I technique* for good results.
