Treeri Posted October 3, 2024 Share Posted October 3, 2024 Yesterday, I traversed a very rugged route in my E90, and now the rear suspension exhibits a loose, imprecise feel accompanied by banging noises. This evening, I inspected the car's bottom and saw that the E12 on the lower arm was poised to detach. I have tightened it (just 20nm), and the banging has ceased. What is the appropriate torque specification, and what is its function? Is it related to the shocker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeri Posted October 3, 2024 Author Share Posted October 3, 2024 After seeing many movies, I was startled by their content. What is the required torque specification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque2me Posted October 3, 2024 Share Posted October 3, 2024 Is it the component for securing the shock bottom mount? If that is the case, there should be two. Are both present? 60nm comes to mind for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeri Posted October 3, 2024 Author Share Posted October 3, 2024 Affirmative. Both are present, quite astonished that it was unsecured and poised to fall out, to be frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncaster34 Posted October 3, 2024 Share Posted October 3, 2024 The online Haynes manual indicates that the rear shock absorber mounting bolts should be torqued to 100Nm (M12), however it is significantly inferior to earlier models I have had, in my opinion.

Treeri Posted October 3, 2024 Author Share Posted October 3, 2024 Extremely apprehensive that it was unsecured and poised to detach. A rear suspension refurbishment was conducted at a local specialist in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
