Hi Guys,

 

quick question, and appologies if the answer's somewhere really obvious, but I can't see it...

 

The bushes on the front wishbones were very very dead (as noted on the MOT), so for the first time with the galaxy I got the garage to change them rather than do it myself. Anyway after the job was done all was fine (no clonking) but give it 1 week/200 miles and it started to clonk. I sent it back and he 'tighten up a few bolt' and all was well again.... until my other half had to brake sharpy and the clonk was back. I strongly suspect that the garage has not lock-tighted the relevant bolts and want to check this - and here in lies my problem.

 

Can someone point me to a guide that tell's me the torque settings and which bolts need to be lock-tighted ? The whole wishbone and bottom ball joint have been changed if this makes a difference.

 

 

thanks in advance

Just done both of mine, before re- fitting I noticed that the rear bolt was a very slack fit through the wishbone bush, so I had to make an insert/sleeve to stop future rattles.
