W211 Rear Sub Frame Torque Spec
I posted this on the W211 AMG forum, but have not gotten an answer there. Thanks in advance if anyone here can provide one. Perhaps Herr Konigstiger?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I noticed recently on my 07 E63 that the driver side rearmost suspension cradle to car attachment seemed to be a bit loose. This is the E18 bolt that goes vertically upward through the large circular bushing next to rear muffler on both sides to connect the rear cradle arms to the car.
The passenger side was tight and was/is torqued to approx. 75 foot lbs, so I tightened the driver side to that as well....it was torqued somewhere between 35 and 40 foot lbs. It now is tight like the passenger side.
I have gotten conflicting answers on the correct torque, can anyone verify the correct factory torque spec for this bolt is?
Thanks in advance.
