Torque settings, rear axle mounting nuts...

Hope I'm describing them correctly.... I'd like to check that the torque for the 4 x nuts, for the bolts that come up onto the boot area below the rear seat are correct.

 

Plenty of info. and how to's about for the rear suspension, but nothing definitive that I can find regarding the correct torque.

Can't say I have ever felt the need to torque them up. Tight with hand tools is adequate. They are only M10 nuts. Haynes manual will list the torque settings. If you haven't got one, buy one,, it does come in handy.

Had found this old post - https://www.205gtidrivers.com/forums/topic/89729-torque-wrench-settings-for-suspension/ but wasn't sure what the correct name of the nuts where and didn't want to wing it with suspension parts.

 

I'm guessing by the Nm you've quoted and cross referencing that to the lists from the 2008 post they are properly known as ' (rear) suspension top mountings '?

 

 Anyhow, that brilliant regardless... Cheers.
