MacRS200 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Posted this on LOC as well - the Tezza failed the MOT today on the OS lower ball joint, bloke reckons it is "dangerous" and that the NS is "on the way out", having said that I don't have any knocking from either side. Called my local motor factors and got a price for a ball joint and an arm, ball joint was £47 and the complete arm £93 so figured that at 100k miles the bushes are probably worn so may as well replace both arms. As the title, anyone (Tony) know the correct torque for the various nuts and bolts? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the shop most nuts would be thread locked and "grrrrr" tight? But i can get the actual settings tomorrow you perfectionist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacRS200 Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yup no knocks, but have known the owners of the place for years and I trust them. They could not do the job till next Wednesday and suggested that I do the job myself and they will fit me in Sat for a re-test so they are not after money! If you can get the settings I would be eternally grateful Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top man as usual, off on "holiday" next week (otherwise known as fitting a new bathroom), once I am sorted I will give you a call and drop round for a coffee, chat and geo check in the order.

If you can get the settings I would be eternally grateful Tony I found nothing relating to the lower joint? I think some thread lock and grrr tight will have to suffice!
