Bump

 

Hang on let me look into it.

 

Thanks Yapster

 

Found it upper u joint nut torque 23 lbf.ft plus minus 2 lbf.ft
Lower u joint nut torque 35 lbf.ft plus minus 4 lbf.ft
Does that help found it in the manual page 7 in subsection xx ( steering system)

 

These values should be checked as I am thinking they are wrong.

Cannot find the correct values in the manual!

 

Just last night I had to put a new radiator and both tie rods on. Tie rod came apart new years eve and got hole in radiator new years eve. All fixed now and road some yesturday around my land

 

Thanks I'm putting the QE in tomorrow trying to get everything together before I start. I have a new rack with tie rods for sale if anyone needs it.

 

Steering rack heck how much I might break that to before long.

 

I am having a hell of a time finding the correct torque values for upper and lower ball joint and lower and upper a arm bolts.

I cannot find them in the electronic manual I have and I do not believe the values above as they were in the steering section and related to the steering column I believe,

HELP Please !

I have the shop manual and I can't find them either found the shock bolts etc etc but nothing on the ball joints only how to remove them I'm looking in the book from brp. STRANGE.

 

Call your dealer then and ask them. Let us know what you find out.

 

I will have them today and will post here.

 

Standard torque for a 10mm bolt as 35lbs. Hope this helped

Went to the dealer today, they informed me that their book was likely more complete then theirs but when we looked it was no different actually. We did not find a table like appears in the rest of the manual for tourques but there was a parts explosion that listed one value for the upper A-arm bolt which is 35 ft/lbs. because the rest of the bolts were the same size I went 35 on everything.

Note for everyone, starting to notice that their are random parts that you would think were metric but are not. Had a couple other instance with Torx screws. On the upper A-arm, the long bolt that holds it on, the head is
5/8 ths and the nut is metric 15 or 17 mm, go figure!

 

Zink plate bolt is 40lbs
