    Ball Joint Bolt Torque #s

    Anyone with a repair manual for a 97 T4 tell me the torque figures for lower ball joint bolts? These are torx head bolts if I remember correctly.
    Also tie rod end #s would be v handy.
    Alternatively, best place to buy a manual? And which one?
    Thanks very much.

    Have you read my writeup on "Drive Shaft Removal etc"?

    The tool you will need is 14mm XZN & not Torx.
    According to the manual by Peter Russek the torque for the track rod ball joint nut, as they call it is 6.5 kgm [47 ft lb]
    The manual would be available on Ebay.UK.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
