As above would anybody have torque settings for rear subframe bolts on an 06 Widetrack Sti 2.5.

Thanks

I used 75lb/ft as some lads were stripping threads at the recommended 96lb/ft, maybe put some medium locktite on if worried about them backing off .
You can use either an M10 or m12 bolt to centre the subframe on the chassis and then take them out once the 4 main bolts are torqued, hope that helps

Thanks Baz, fair play.
Would you recommend the same torque for the arms also and strut to hub etc

These are the torques I used


Lateral link to subframe: 74 ft/lbs
Lateral link to hub: 103 ft/lbs
Trailiing link to chassis bracket 85 ft/lbs
Trailing link to hub: 66 ft/lbs

Mighty!
Should have bolts back from Vision Evolution in a few weeks and can get assembling then.

Cool , a good tip I picked up from someone else when reassembling stuff like this for safety and piece of mind, is tip ex or highlight marker the head of each nut or bolt and the body or another part to reference off so after a month or so of driving check they haven?t moved

Good idea, saw similar under some new vehicles alright
