A list of front end torques that I wrote up and printed out when overhauling my front end. It saved me some time and I thought maybe it could save somebody else some time as well, or help someone out who doesn't have a Bentley.

Nice list!

It should be mentioned that these specs may vary (per the TIS) for M3, Xi, or non-US spec cars. These, and many others, are listed in Lb/Ft and Nm on our torque spec card. We sell the card alone for $5.00 shipped, but tend to include it free with many purchases.
