[doc] Re: Torque settings

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

Recently done this 'little task' so its still fresh to me.... 55 FT 
Pounds  (75 Nm) Trailing arm to pivot bush 

Just make sure that you put the same number of shims back in as you 
took out on both sides and torque the TA bolts back up with the 
weight of the car on the suspension as so not to preload the bolt.

How are you going to do this job on a garage ramp / pit i hope, did 
mine over a pit and its still a pig of a job...

I have a few pics etc of the procedure if you would like them?

I am in the process of writing a little 'how to' on this one as like 
NickT, work gets in the way of play times.

Hope you have a manual rather than an auto :)

Kind Regards

Mike
