Rear ARB + drop link torque settings S3 8L

[tcg]

Ordered a new rear ARB and drop links from Audi today and been searching on here but can find a definite answer.
Please could someone tell me the torque settings for...
Rear ARB mounting brackets
drop link both ends

thanks in advance,

Tim.

Tight enough so it doesn't fall off basically.... It really isn't a torque critical component, just use your "feel"

TTTTF it is then

There you go 25Nm for the nut 110Nm for the bolt/bottom end

From memory the lower drop link arm bolt should be as tight as possible as this also secures the shock in place. I recall having to jack it back up cause there was clunks from this area, i assume the shock was moving about. Tightening it as much as poss cured the issue.

Ideally you should be talking these up while the suspension is on the ground so what I did is jacked up the side I was going to talk up so it wasn't just hanging to mimic the suspension be tensioned up
