Upper suspension ball joint

[MadCat52]

I need to replace the rubber boot on the upper suspension ball joint. Anyone know the torque setting when reassembling the joint?

Thanks

Would you like an Assembly Guide?

Thanks Jonathan. Should have said its for a 2005 SV ... assume it will be the same?

Yes please to the assembly guide, can you attach it to a pm? If not I'll pm another email address. 

Cheers

Hi Jonathan, looks like your mailbox is full/blocked.

From doing similar a few weeks back, can I add that on later cars the torque spec is 54Nm from memory.  You will probably need a plain M14 nut to draw the ball joint tapered profile fully into it’s seat in the upright. Once it is seated you swap the plain nut for a nyloc.  If you source M14 nylocs note they are fine pitch thread.

Yes, by 2012 that's:
