Hi R56 owners,

I'm in the middle of swapping R56 RTAs into my R53, and I wanted to know what the recommended torque setting is for both the self-tapping lower shock bolt, and the self-tapping RTA bushing bolt...

Can you help me out?

Thx

* Rear lower strut mount to rear trailing arm (RTA) - M14 x 105mm x 1.5: 165Nm (122 ft-lbs)
* Rear trailing arm (RTA) to bracket (replace M14 self-tapping bolt with new): 165Nm (122 ft-lbs)

Thanks a lot Erik...

Those torque numbers are even higher than the R53's steel RTAs... crazy...
I would have thought it would have been less...

Thanks for your help.
I'll button it up this morning.
