W211 E500 Upper and Lower Control Arm Ball Joint Torque Specs?
I have looked and cannot find the upper and lower control arm torque specs. I need them for the ball joints and connector bolts to the body. I appreciate any help.


Thanks!

Great info! What about the forward control arm? I'm having a hard time finding the spec for it.

Like your thrust arm? Not sure what you mean by forward arm-we all use diff terminology.

Yes- Sorry, not sure of the correct name. I've heard it referred to as a forward thrust arm, so I believe we're talking the same part. Connect to the steering knuckle just behind the tie-rod end.

The one that goes to the steering knuckle is 50nm and 60 degrees.
The bolt going through the bushing/to the axle carrier or subframe is 80nm and 120 degrees.
