front suspension torque settings
Front hub nut to drive shaft 350nm...thats tight
lower ball joint 65nm...forum advice
strut to hub pinch bolt 100nm
track rod 30nm

everything is now nice and tight to the strut but this made me smile

strut to chassis, a mere 22nm

similar at the rear of the car, everything nice and tight until the rear damper
