Rear trailing arm torque settings
« on: January 19, 2025, 16:20:19 »
Hi we have replaced the bushes in the rear trailing arms but have failed to find the correct torque settings for the large hexagon screws and the nut and bolts that holds the doughnuts on the front of the arms if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks David for the reply am I right in thinking they call the trailing arm the thrust arm if so probably why we struggled to find it.

Yes ‘thrust arm at frame floor’ is the one.
