Anyone know what the torque wrench settings should be for the bolts on the A frames? and also the rear tie bars?

No mention of these in the bible but as with all suspension components I presume they will need to be torqued up once the weight of the car is on the road wheels.

Thanks
Andy

Seriously, they don't need to be silly tight, probably about 40lb/ft should be sufficient. IIRC on mine they are Nyloc nuts so no worries about them coming undone. If you are worried add a drop of Loctite nut-lock when re-assembling.

Cheers Mick, not too worried about them coming undone, its my abilty to overtighten that concerns me most!
