Had this question on fiesta forum but no reply. Does anyone know how much to torque up the 3 nuts/bolts on a new front bottom arm balljoint. Have drilled the rivets out old one but can't find any info for the new one .

Which mk fiesta are you referring too? Most people just do them up as tight as they can with a socket.

Fiesta mk5 zs, but think most fiestas would be the same. Just that the nut thread looks kind of " oval " and tightens it self up, sort of self locking so wondered if there was a specific torque that's all , any help ?
