Need Torque Values for Rear Lower Control Arm
Hi guys,
I'm going to do some suspension work on my rear 02 CL500 (replace the bottom rear strut bushing) this coming weekend. Does anyone know what the torque values for the following nuts/bolts:
18mm rear control arm
21mm control arm hub bolt
18mm inner control arm
21mm bottom strut nut
Thanks

Measure the diameter of the bolt shaft (not the hex-head), determine the grade (stamped on the head), search internet for torque values. In some cases, Mercedes provide torque values and then states words to the effect, "turn an additional 90 degrees". In those cases, search is your friend.
None of the bolts you list are (to the best of my knowledge) one-time use so you should be good to re-use.
