Dear Friends, My upper ball joint in the front of my w219 on the passenger side is making a terrible noise and believe the upper ball joint is failing. Do you all know the torque specs for these bolts? I believe the center nut is 60nm, but not sure about the other three (see pics below)? Thank you very much in advance and have great day!
DO you all know the specs for these bolts?
The ball joint in this pic is making a terrible sound and I am replacing. The main bolt holds the assembly together, along with three bolts that attach the upper control arm.
Thanks everyone for your most excellent suggestions and help! What puzzles me is that the ball joint only makes the terrible noise *sometimes*. I have deduced that when it gets hot enough, there is some expansion causing friction in the failing joint. Is that what you all have experienced as well?? Have a great day.
Does anyone know torque specs for upper control arm ball joint and for lower shock mounting bolt on 2007 E63 Amg? I will be replacing the front air strut today. Thanks!
Hello this is my first time posting on here. I’m replacing the upper control arm, lower ball joints and tie rods on my 2007 e350 4matic and I could really use some torque specs. The files posted earlier on this thread show a control arm with a removable upper ball joint. Mine is all one piece don’t know if that makes a difference. If someone could please send me like torque specs for all the front suspension pieces I would be super thankful. Already broke a few bolts had to wait for replacement parts to arrive in mail since no local stores in my area carry my particular Mercedes parts. And I can’t find a repair book like by chilton or Haynes for my e350 anywhere. Do they even make one?

again thanks in advance
I cannot provide the specs for you, but here is some other useful information. You can get a CD/DVD set for repairs. Here is a quick example from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-MERCEDE...97.m4902.l9144
to get an idea as to what is available. It takes quite a bit of time to install on your computer and to get it working. Can definitely be a lifesaver though. worth the low cost. I am not the seller and I am not connected to them in any way.
