Rear wishbone/upper control arm

[sophocles]

Hello all - I am looking for the torque spec on the rear wishbone/upper control arms. I have searched all over but can't find it specific for the E53. My car is the 01 3.0i 5-spd manual sport.

Is it the same as the 7-series below?

Torque specs are 110Nm (60ft-lbs) for the inner bolt and 160Nm (118ft-lbs) for the ball joint nut. Looking at the realoem diagram the 110NM is bolt 12 and the 160NM would be nut 14 then?

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated, and also if anyone knows the fuse # in the rear for the air suspension compressor that would also be great.

Thanks!

Torque spec is somewhere on here. Do a search. As for the fuse, it should be in your owners manual. Back section under electronics.

Thanks I'll find a copy of the manual - I have searched this and a couple of other forums for two days now. I would have guessed it would have come up before as well but so far I'm totally missing it if it is on here.

Sorry for another post but I have still yet been searching and can not find confirmation of these torque figures - nobody knows this?

Thanks in advance!
