The workshop manual says these should be replaced:



...but they're not torque 'x Nm+ y degrees', so I'd expect just a fresh blob of Loctite or whatever. I know these specs are generally for a reason, but is it overkill here?
The crossmember front mountings are located in a similar manner, yet the instructions don't call for the mounting bolts to be renewed for that operation.

They looked as good as new so I re-used them.

What route has anyone who's dropped the rear suspension followed?

 

Since they have two torque values, I suspect it's for new vs. used. I have never done these, but would not hesitate to reuse with locktite and the lower torque value.

 

I reuse those in my own cars with no issues.

 

That is my understanding where two torque figures are quoted, and what I did.
Somewhat odd in this case since Jaguar advocates new, so the 'used' value is irrelevant

Thanks both for the feedback.
