I'm looking for the torque settings for the M3 front end parts. I have searched the site but can't find them. I remember seeing the swaybar mount specs here somewhere but they don't show up and I need the control arm and tension strut specs too. Already done the rear at a dealer due to the difficulty with the rear subframe mounts. Now it's time for the balance. Orb, stressdoc, Mr.5, anybody?

I had the same question a little while back...see the link below. When I installed I just eye-balled the torque specs, as I didn't have this response at the time! Will be checking the torques soon, but so far no problems.

Thanks for the response. Still looking for the swaybar bushing mounts and endlink specs.

bushing: no torque spec, tighten mount fasteners with car on ground and loaded, bounce suspension a few times before final tightening.

sway bar to end link 16 ft-lb for M8 bolts and 44 ft-lb for M10 bolts
end link to strut 43 ft-lb
