Anyone know if a torque settings fact sheet is likely for members?
If anyone can help, I'm after the torque settings for the anti-roll bar drop links at the back and front.
I know they're in the workshop manual but don;t have one... yet.
Thanks.

From the manual: (manual calls them 'Stabilisers')
Front drop link
(top - connects to suspension strut, bottom - connects to anti roll bar - 'Stabiliser')
Both are 75~104N/m (7.6~10.7kgf/m)
Rear drop link
(top - connects to chassis?, bottom - connects to anti roll bar - 'Stabiliser')
Both are 36~54N/m (3.7~5.5kgf/m)
Is this what you need?

PM'd you last night splatt4001 but basically I didn't bother with torqueing them - just did them up tight with the same extension bar I'd needed to get them undone.

Have I been very naughty everybody

I like your CX500. Nearly bought one a couple of years back. What kind of mpg/performance do you get from it?
Cheers

I normally do them up "4 white knuckles and a swear word", just like Dad taught me.
