Technical Torque Settings

[mihailou]

First post hello to all and hope to pick the more experienced brains on here

Almost completed under floor renovation of my 124 AC but am having trouble finding reliable information on torque settings for steering components.

I am looking for settings for Ball Joints Tie Rods and associated parts.

Searches seem to be all on Spyders and seem in conflict with an old Haynes manual I have.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi (or should that be G'Day ) Dave, welcome to the Fiat Forum

Here are the figures from an official Fiat 124 AC servicing instructions guide from 1969 :-

So, doing a little interpretation of Fiat parts terminology (just in case you're confused), the settings you've asked for would seem to be :-
ball joints - M14 x 1.5mm thread = 10 kgm (72.33 ft.lbs)
track rod ends - M10 x 1.25mm thread = 3.5 kgm (25.31 ft.lbs)

Many many thanks.
This should enable me to actually finish downstairs It now will be driveable and when I finish the interior it's registration and on the road.

Wonder what I've forgotten ???

Once again thanks
