hey does anyone know the torque spec of the lower control arm bolts and ball joint bolts?

 

According to the 2006 service manual pdf.....

Ball joint to control arm nut and bolts. 50 lb ft

Ball joint to steering knuckle (First pass) 37 lb ft Reverse 3/4 turn
(second pass) 37 lb ft +30 degrees

Control arm to front frame bolts 41 lb ft

Control arm to rear frame bolts 74 lb ft +180 degrees



There's a link to these service manuals somewhere on this forum

 

i have a control arm with ball joint already on it

 

So you will be attaching ball joint to the steering knuckle and control arm to frame, no?

 

i'll be attaching ball joint to looks like strut and arm to frame

 

It's the steering knuckle (which the strut is also attached to) Maybe it looks like it's part of the strut when it's all assembled? Those are all the torque specs given in the service manual.

 

thank you sr
