I will be installing new control arms & etc this morning and i need the torque specs on the front suspension. I have searched but can't find anything for just the C55....
Please help!

If anyone has a file with the specs please post it....huge thanks in advance!

Did you get an answer? I don't think the torque specs are different for the C55 versus regular 203s. The WIS doesn't make any differentiation. Here are the specs, anyway:

Self locking nut, link rod to torsion bar, M10 - 60 Nm
Self locking nut, link rod to suspension strut, M10 - 60 Nm
Bolt of stabilizer bar retaining bracket to front axle carrier - 40 Nm

Self locking nut, transverse link to steering knuckle assembly - 80 Nm
Self locking nut, cross strut to front axle carrier - 150 Nm

The 'torque strut' would be the lower control arm I believe, and the 'cross strut' would be the upper. 'Front axle carrier' refers to the subframe, chassis side.

Good luck! I'm going to tackle the job Easter long weekend, provided I can line up my Indy shop for an alignment on Easter Monday. About time too - I've had the parts for over a year!

Oh yeah, I'll try and post scans of the WIS instructions on Monday, need to get at the scanner at the office.

OKay, here are WIS scans for the front control arm and sway bar R&R. To ensure we have a nice, complete thread, of course!
