Hi Dave,

The bushings at the end of the control arm are worn out, especially the ones on the driver’s side.

I have ordered 4 new ones and I hope to be able to replace them in a couple of weeks, waiting for the spring.

I also bought 2 bushings of the control arm stay, just in case the existing ones are bad.

My question to you is related to the torque specs, in the pocket book I read this:

1) Control arm stay - control arm Nm 105 or ft.lb 74
2) Control arm stay - Body, M14 Nm 120 or ft.lb 89

Now,is 1) meant to be the M12 that screws in the control arm stay and the 2) the M14 bolt that attaches the control arm stay to the frame? I understand the latter has to be tighten at full suspension load, right?

Thank you!
Alex
