Does anyone know the torque specs for a 2008 ML550 with non-air suspension? Specifically: Axle nut to hub, Upper ball joint to spindle, Tie rod to spindle, upper strut mount and sway bar to strut.
Thanks in advance! Ray G

Front or rear?

Front...sorry I didn't mention that!

Maj. Dundee

Is the strut with a spring or Airmatic?

Thanks so much for the specs.! I'm sorry to get back so late, but I was away from the project for the last week. The vehicle has a strut suspension, so I believe that the correct spec. for the axle nut is 260 NM, + 45 degrees. I can't find the upper strut tower to chassis mount specs for the 3 nuts, and the torque spec for the coil spring assembly retaining nut for the top of the strut if you happen to have them. Thanks again for all your help!!! Ray G.

Maj. Dundee

Yes the torque is 250 with an additional 45 degrees using a Torque Angle Gauge. And here is a video on how to use it.

I appreciated the quick response and tool suggestion; it will come in handy for sure! Do you happen to know what the torque is for the single nut holding the coil spring pack to the top of the strut? Thanks again ! Sincerely, Ray G

Maj. Dundee

Here it is and I hope this is the end of it.

Warning: that the spring is loaded and can only be done with special spring compressor.

Major: Perfect & thanks so much! I have it all apart, but don't want to reassemble it without the specs, and as you know they are difficult to find. Thanks, again! Ray G.
