Jim 123 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 From doing similar a few weeks back, can I add that on later cars the torque spec is 54Nm from memory. You will probably need a plain M14 nut to draw the ball joint tapered profile fully into it’s seat in the upright. Once it is seated you swap the plain nut for a nyloc. If you source M14 nylocs note they are fine pitch thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
