Trailing arm torque figures.

[Daspete]

So I've put everything back on but can't find the torque figures for some bits. I've taken a guess at some based on the e36 manual but they seem far too much crushing the bushes and making the arms stiff.

Has anyone got the rear subframe figures but more importantly the trailing arms?

Thanks in advance.

Is the Bentley manual a workshop manual for Z4s ?

I meant do they do manuals for the Z3 and if so do they do one for the Z4 as I've had little success getting a decent workshop manual

Diff to rear mount 77nm/56ftlbs use new nut
Shock to T-arm 100 nm/74 ftlbs in normal position
Sway bar to T-arm link 22nm /16ftlbs
Sway bar bracket to body 22nm/16ftlbs
Subframe to diff 110nm/81ftlbs. (you don't need this one unless you are swapping diff)
Trailing Arm to Suframe 67nm/49ftlbs in normal position
Subframe outer bushing 140nm/103 ftlbs (use new nut)

Or if you fart when tightening .......its tight
Source is Bentley manual

Yes Bentley do a Z3 manual, but I cant find a Z4 one on their web site, so I'd guess not. But there may be other publishers?

Cheers, I've got that, but frankly I don't find it very easy to use, I prefer a paper based manual, so I can bookmark pages and highlight important bits, I beginning to think I'm coming across a bit like John Richardson, oh dear.
