| Torque values for sway bar drop links? Bruce In Philly (2000 S Boxster, now '09 C2S) - Friday, 24 January, 2014, at 9:12:55 am |
2009 C2S coupe.
Any ideas? How about a rule of thumb? I found something somewhere that said 48 foot pounds....... one poster on I think a BMW board noted the proper procedure was to tighten to around 30, then loosen, then tighten to 48.
Others said not to worry, just tighten them up.
Thanx

| These are the bolts through the drop links? M8 maybe? grant - Tuesday, 28 January, 2014, at 11:13:05 am |
There is an off-the-shelf spec range for M8, M6, M10 whatever. You might ghoogle it.
If i recall the size of the bolt i would nto do 48 lb-ft, maybe more like 25-30.
The key here is to not have it fall off or work its way loose.
And if it does, its nto the end of the world.
