Torque Specs for Coilover Install

NM_BMW · 04-05-2009, 12:45 AM

I got my KW v3's in today and thought I would post the torque specs for all the OEM mounting points that use manufacturer torque specs. This does not include the torque specs for the KW piston rod nut, as this is listed in your manual with your coilovers. These are also the torque specs from an e90 AWD/XI.

Front
3 Bolts in engine bay - 25 ft lbs
Bolt holding brake line bracket and swivel bearing - 60 ft lbs
Stabilizer link to strut - 42 ft lbs

Rear
Camber arm bolt either end - 121 ft lbs
Bottom of shock/strut to camber arm - 28 ft lbs

All this info was gathered from the BMW TIS. Hope it helps some of you who may not have access to TIS.

I'm assuming this also applies to RWD models?
