W126 Steering Gearbox Torque Values
85 380SE. I reinstalled the gearbox earlier today. My manual (paper) only shows Nm values, so I used an online calculator. But I want to make sure everything seems in order. These are the 3 values in question - can someone please tell me if these sound right? For safety's sake I am very paranoid about getting everything perfect on the steering.
Steering coupling - approx. 20 ft. lbs.
3 Gearbox to Body bolts - approx. 60 ft. lbs.
Pitman arm nut - 135 ft. lbs.
Did I torque everything properly?
Oh yes, I know the body bolts and pitman arm nut need to be replaced. I will go to the dealer and order them, then replace in a few days when the new ones arrive.
