Need an expert for suspension torque specifications...
Just about to torque my front suspension after installing an entire meyle control arm kit from blauparts.com. I have the following torque specs from https://www.audiforums.com/m_840623/tm.htm . Anyone know if these are correct?
Upper front; 50 Nm + 1/4 turn into mounting bracket
Upper rear; 50Nm + 1/4 turn into mounting bracket
Upper pinch bolt; 40 Nm (not TRE pinch bolt)
Lower front; 80 Nm + 1/4 turn into subframe
Lower rear; 90 Nm +1/4 turn into subframe
Lower control arms into steering knuckle; 100 Nm
Mounting bracket (shock tower assembly)
Upper bolts from inside the engine bay; 75 Nm
Lower nut and bolt into control arm; 90 Nm
Sway bar end link;
Lower connection to the sway bar; 100 Nm
Upper connection into the control arm; 40 Nm + 1/4 turn
Rear Sub Frame; Large Bolt 110 Nm + 1/4 turn small bolts; 23 Nm
Also, I heard that the car needs to be fully loaded when I torque these arms. Does this mean I simply need the jack stands under front suspension on either side, or does the tire stay on during this procedure? Thanks for any help!
