Gazzar Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I expect these are as standard, or as defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would doubt they be the same as Coil sprung land rovers as there are differences in threads etc. I did manage to look through some old Series manuals, but they are a bit hit and miss compared to the later manuals for torque settings. The stub axle to swivel housing bolts are 3/8 BSF, im yet to find a TS for those. The king pin is also 3/8 BSF and says 50-60 lbf.ft The steering arm has 7/16 BSF studs, that if have been removed, need to be replaced and installed to 40-50 lbf.ft with loctite 270 and then when actually installing the steeering arm and doing up the nuts, 50-60 lbf.ft.... so thats a little odd Edited May 29, 2020 by uninformed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 King pin? Railko bush and swivel pins? Same as standard series, almost same part. Rest is standard series part, likewise just slightly tweaked. There is no significant change in parts, weight or stress, compared with a 6 cyl one tonne. So, use series settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sparkes Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 From the V8 supplement to the main S3 workshop manual, the torque setting for the stub axle bolts is 30 - 38 lbf-ft. Regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
