Torque settings after front spring change

Good Afternoon,

I'm just changing the front spring on my TDI 75 , and being as there is no hynes manual ; I thought I best to check here for some torque settings as I replace the items. If you read this and somebody has already replied - please either agree with them or suggest different settings - general consensus. lb/f n/m or even words – ‘finger tight’

Start in reverse order - as I put things back together

1) Nut which holds the spring into the shocker top mount (before putting back under wheel arch)
2 Three bolts which hold the shocker mount under the bonnet
3) bolt which holds the shocker base - to the wheel assembly
4) track rod end
5) Drop link
6) brake callipers
7) any other that I forgot


cheers in anticipation

Okay there is no Haynes manual but there is the official Workshop Manual in both legal and illegal versions. You can buy downloads of the manual on ebay (got to be dodgy) or free (dodgy) online versions. The latter tend to be cluttered with adverts almost to a point of being unusable, navigation a challenge, such as this ...


With the legal approach you buy access for a specific length of time, e.g. Year, week, day, hour to the manual and print what you require.
