Torque Specs for ball joint

Merde!!!

Can you pull one out and measure the shaft diameter - hopefully 10mm?

Those are the bolts and nut I refer to, to me, this is a ball joint attached to a knuckle, I do not see any clear reference to this in the VIDA table above, obviously I cannot find consistency in the terminology used in that table that leads me to conclude those are the bolts and nut they refer to.

I hope this clarifies what I am puzzled with.

Have fun!

Yep those are the nuts and bolts I've done in my V70.

You mean the thread diam. where the nut goes?

I meant the the diameter of the bolts holding the ball joint to the spindle but Im reading this better now

You have two different torques to consider

Two bolts that hold ball joint to spindle

Big nut that holds the ball joint to the steel/aluminum control arm.

Once you know what your control arms are made of, I think the VIDA table is clear what you need

If the VIDA info was clear to me. I would have not been trying to get this information since yesterday.

Bolts are 10mm, I will torque them according to summary table: 50 Nm
I will do the same for the nut as the control arms are aluminum and if the line I read is the correct one in the table, that it is 50Nm + 40 degrees.
