torque settings for suspension bolts

Post by Sass1 » Sun Mar 16, 2014 10:51 am

Replacing top control arms today, and cant seem to track down a definitive list of torque settings for the b7 suspension

So any pointers to where i can find them would be appreciated, or in the meantime does anyone know the correct torque settings for top control arm bolts, the long pinch bolt and the lower shock bolt for the front suspension ??

Thanks

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Suspension in bits at the mo, and will be rebuilding later this week.

Thanks.

not sure, just tight, make sure you nip them up when the car is on the ground too, as when you tighten them in the air it will twist the bush when its sat on the floor,

Hey mate,
I used this... just be careful of the pinch bolts! I over-torqued it the first time and cracked the knuckle..

I used another reference too but can't find it atm.. .I'll keep looking and let you know if I find it...
Cheers,

I need torque settings for bolts 1,3,20 and 36 from the diagram(diagram doesn't look exactly like rs4 setup) and also the pinch bolt that holds the upper arms to the hub.
