Front lower control arm torque settings?

[500enewbie]

Hi All,

I have been trying to search through previous posts both here and the internet and no joy. I'm the proud owber of some new front control arms. If anyone is in a similar position in England, I can mention the best place to buy them from was Sitescape Mercedes Benz in Liverpool who gave me a 205 discount too.

Anyway I digress! Does anyone know the correct torque settings when tightening the lower control arms? I understand the car needs to be on the floor when torqueing. Anything else to watch out for?

Thanks in Advance,

it was 120 nm before
But uprated values due to customer complaints about "knocking /squeeking sounds back in the day..was to tighten them to 150nm

and like you already said..do this when car sits on the ground
