Torque specs ball joints, steering knuckle


I have to replace this steering knuckle along with hub bearing, parts come in tomorrow so I need to know if there are specific torque specs for the lower control arm ball joint, tie rod ball joint and this 90degree ball joint very bottom in picture? I don’t want to over tighten or not enough does anyone know correct torque specs? Thank you

Yes, there are torque specs for everything. Too loose and you risk wearing parts out quickly. Too tight and you risk stripping threads.

Search this site for torque specs, I'm sure they exist. @konigstiger might have already posted them. Or buy WIS from ebay for $15 and you will be good to go.

This is probably not complete, find attached. what's missing, Mr K can assist.
I will be away from my PC for 3 weeks from today. So I give you what I can for now.
Good luck

PS
Some XPS file are from my ebay EPC 2018 and some text can be missing during the conversion from EPC to XPS, dont ask me why.
I think Mr K document would be the best.

Sorry for hijacking the thread.

Thanks

Konigstier any chance you have these torque specs for a 2010 E550 4matic? I am replacing the front struts and have been searching high and low for the torque specs for the 6 different bolts. Have only found the Tie-rod end (98nm) and perhaps the top 3 bolts (110nm?) but nothing on the 2 lower bolts. Any help would be massively appreciated. If it matters the last 8 of the VIN is AA133694.
