The JTIS gives two figures, 60-80Nm and 98-132Nm - does anyone know which is correct?
Reason I ask is last summer I replaced the upper bushes to one side and tightened the bolt to 120Mn, ie mid range higher value. I am now in the process of a full bush and joint replacement but when I came to remove the pivot bolt it was stuck fast and only by drifting it out was I able to remove it. The cause was the steel end washers of the new bushes has tightened onto the shaft. My supplier has not had this problem and I don't suspect poor quality product for one moment. He suggested what I thought that the pivot had been over tightened causing the washers to spread - thoughts?

 

I have an ALLDATAdiy.com subscription for my 97 and it lists the following:

Nut - wishbone upper fulcrum 98-132 nm

At least you have an opinion from a source other than JTIS. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Brad,

I'll have to check my torque wrench next.
