Need torque specs for lower and upper control arms does anybody have info. All I could find was tie rod torque settings. 50nm with 60 degree. Are these the same values for control arms. Ty in advance

just buy a one month subscription to Alldata it’s owned by Autozone I believe and has all the specs and TSBs. Print everything you need before the month is up and cancel. 20$ a month.

I am about to replace almost all of these front end parts. Anyone have suggestions on where to start? I.e. back to front parts replaced first or front to back. I have a box sitting of every front end piece that wears in the garage.

thanks,

Bottom control arm is the easiest. Then tie rod. Upper control arm last. But if your doing all of them Doesn't matter

thank you! I do have the torques specs and staging for control arms w204 but mine says “without 4 matic” so idk if you wanna risk it.

4matic is a little different I think it's 90 degree turn instead of 60 degree turn. After torquing newton meters

Hey guys, I was looking to overhaul my front suspension and replace everything: control arms, links, struts, axles, tie rods, but can’t seem to find the torque settings. Can someone help me out. I have a 2012 c300 4matic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sway bar links I have 98nm. Strut is 33nm for the top 3 bolts and 100nm for the nuts at the spindle. Havent done the other ones so not sure.

Are the bushings bad? Those are usually the only thing that would cause you to replace control arms, tie rods and links. Torn dust boots or axle/CV joint noise for axles. Not sure of your mileage, but I can understand if your struts are weak.
