Torque setting for 3000m front suspension wishbones

[bennettpe]

Does anybody know what torque setting the front suspension wishbone (upper & lower) nut should be.

I have been unable to find any recommended settings due to the wishbones being tvr manafactured.

Many Thanks

Hi Paul
That I know there has never been a setting for the suspension bolts...What is important is that they are done up whilst in ride height position (in that the bush is at the mid point between full droop and full compression of the suspension) so that the bush does not twist the inner steel tube away from the rubber...
We always use 2 ring spanners and do these up as tight as possible.
(As a note. Torque settings are particular to the bolt sizes and threads per inch and materials that you are using, they are 1/2 inch UNF in this case)
