Default 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 http://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!

Default RE: Need an expert for suspension torque specifications...

you could use the jack stands. You want the arms to be in the position that they ride in when you titen them, or you can mess up the bushings.
