Tension strut torque specs?

drwankel · 07-01-2022, 01:13 AM

Can anybody confirm what the torque specs are for the tension struts?

I know the bushing is 100nm/74ft-lbs plus 90 degrees.

What I am unclear on is the ball joint. I've seen in some places its 165nm/122ft-lbs and others said 175nm/129ft-lbs.

I have not seen a screenshot from TIS that says the torque and I would consider this the undisputed answer.

Can anybody confirm what it is? A screenshot from TIS would be even better.

I found the answer, and it is the 175nm/129fl-lbs.

Totally forgot about this thread, and managed to confirm in TIS as well.
