Rear suspension bushings???

[men2be]

Hello,
I am replacing the rear bearing housing bushings as well as the trailing arm bushings and the link at the end of it.
Can anyone supply me info on torque specs or any other info ??
Thanks!

Here you go. All the VIDA directions on rear suspension. I don't hear any of these going out. perhaps others with experience can chime in.

I've only done the rear shocks and rear sway bar end links (ball joint had play) on my car. Everything else seems to be pretty tough.

Howard is right. I've put a fairly rough 350K kms on my XC, having to redo front ball joints, A-arm bushings, strut mounts, etc. more than once because of the crap roads I have to drive on. Yet, at the rear I did rear shocks at about 170K and I changed the rear sway bar bushings once with poly about 60K or so ago. Now I am on my third set of rear sway bar links but I just replaced those not long ago and the ones I pulled weren't all that bad. So despite the abuse the rear end bits are fairly stout. Way more than the front.

In any case, as far as torque settings, I believe that VIDA has those buried within the R&R procedures.

Cheers,

Bill
