Rear bumper support/trailer hitch torque settings
Hello All,
New owner of a 2014 GLK350 here, got it very recently and really enjoying our "new" car. We have owned our W205 C300 for a few years and almost 100K miles and the W205 platform is very different.
My GLK did not come with the factory trailer hitch, but I was able to source the factory parts and now I am retrofitting the hitch. I bought new hardware from the dealer and everything fits nicely, but I can not find torque specs for the side reinforcements (that go into frame rails and held by 2 bolts each) and for the rear bumper reinforcement bar/trailer hitch itself (5 nuts on each side that also hold muffler hangers).
Does anyone have torque specs for this they can share?
Thank you very much in advance!
