Torque specs?
« on: September 06, 2012, 10:52:28 am »
I'm trying to find the torque specs for the bottom ball joint bolts and the driveshaft nut for a gti!

I have tried searching but am finding different specs

Does anyone know what they actually are?

Oh and one other thing when loosening or tightening the drive shaft bolt the wheel must not be loaded on the ground, it must be off the floor, you must get someone to apply the breaks while you do this, as you will damage the wheel bearing, not my words lifted from elsawin at VW
