Title: 36mm Trailing Arm Torque Specification
Post by: gtait on August 20, 2024, 14:36:38

I am in the final stage of changing the trailing arm bushings on my 1964 230SL and when looking up the torque setting of the 36mm bolts I am finding a few different torque specifications.

I have found one at 145 foot pounds and one at 225 foot pounds.
Does anyone have actual Mercedes documentation showing the factory specifications?

Thank you

These are specs from big blue book - Nm or Kpm - you'll have to convert to ft lbs...  have fun!
