Happy new year!
Fiat ducato maxi 2015 x290
Had some faint knocking on OS front while in Spain, removed the wheel and had a bash about making sure it was safe to get us home and couldn't see anything that stood out, had another look when home and changed the roll bar drop. Links just in case, still the same
Took it to the main dealer £165 PLUS VAT AN HOUR😳 and they said all good
Mot at the weekend OS front bottom ball joint😡
Called stealer who say bring it back but we may charge you
So fook em I'll do it myself, seems easy enough from YouTube but does anyone know the torque settings for the associated parts, again this is the maxi so uprated suspension bits
Thanks 👍
 
Hi wheels are 160 nm plus or minus 16nm

Ball joints are not listed on my technical data so would be tightened by feel usually thread locked nuts supplied.

Hope this helps. Ps new hear also hope this has helped.

Have a look on the head of the bolts.
You may see 8.8 , this is the grade of the bolt.
If you know the diameter and thread pitch you can look up the torque on the web.
Most underfloor fixings will be 8.8 , a few maybe 10.9.
Just measure the diameter and estimate the pitch.
If the bolt is unmarked assume it's 8.8
