simonpelly Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hi Folks, Looking for the torque settings for the 3 bolts for the rear shock absorber mount bracket to the chassis. Nothing mentioned in the WSM. Thanks, Simon... 1997 Defender 110 300Tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 If you look in the workshop manual there is a table of torque settings for generic bolts which do not have a specific torque. M10 is 45nm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It's in my manual, Torque wrench setting Section 06, page 8, Photo of the page & a close up above the yellow pencil 64Nm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Thanks Western. Did them up to 45Nm earlier today. Must say that even felt it was likely to cave in the chassis. Not sure about 75Nm for the nut on the bottom of the shock absorber either. Wow! My WSM states 37Nm - 1996 300Tdi Had a bit more digging around in the internet. Wondering if your WSM if for a 90/110 and perhaps different to Defender in this regard? Simon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 As long as they’re nice and tight (a big grunt on a decent sized ratchet) I don’t think it’s a particularly critical figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 My manual. Is for 90 & 110 Defender upto & including 200tdi. So quite possible there has been a revision to the torque settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
