I've compiled a list of torque specs for my SF Foz, but I got them from my Haynes WSM which is US spec, also its '00-'06, so not necessarily the same as my AUDM SF. Wondering if anyone can point me to a website showing a complete list.

This is what I've got so far:

Ft-lbs Nm
Wheel nuts 66 90
Spark Plugs15.5 21
Engine Oil Drain Plug 33 44
Gearbox Drain Plug 32.5 44
Rear Diff Plugs 36 49
Thermostat Housing bolts 5 7
Oxygen Sensor 15 20
Gearbox to Engine Lwr Nuts 36 50
Gearbox to Engine Upr Bolts 36 50
Brakes Banjo Bolts 13 17.6
Fr Caliper Bolt 27 36.6
Rr Caliper Bolt 28 40
Fr Strut upper mounting bolts 15 20
Fr Strut to knuckle bolts/nuts 129 175
Control Arm Fr pivot bolt/nut 74 100
Control Arm Rr pivot stud/nut 140 190
Control Arm Rr bushing bracket bolts 184 250
Subframe Fr(3) & Rr(2) Mounting bolts 52 71
Subframe Middle(3) Mounting bolts 41 55
Rr Strut upper mounting bolts 23 30
Rr Strut to knuckle bolts/nuts 148 200
Trailing Arm to Body 74 100
Trailing Arm to Knuckle 67 90

Can anyone tell me if any of these are wrong for an SF Foz?

Needing:
Engine Xmember to body
Gearbox Xmember to body
Rr Xmember to body
Moustache bar

Any others you might think are useful....

It might also help others if a list of torque specs for other models were done.

EDIT: Well I did have these nicely lined up for easy viewing, but it seems posting removes the blank spaces :o
 
Not to be rude mate, but now your getting abit serious about it... You only really need to torque bolts when constructing/rebuilding/building a motor, gearbox or diff. Anything else do just with a ratchet/spanner or breaker bar....
For suspension I do it as tight as I physically can with a breaker bar, sometimes extend it to 0.75m to 1m and do it reasonably tight then leave it at that...
For the gearbox and engine crossmounts do them really tight, but torquing them is complete overkill... even professionals don't do it... only where it's real important is it real necessary :iconwink:
 
I don't use a torque wrench for non essential but I try to get pretty close by feel. Pretty handy reference there NL.

Until I get more experience, I'd prefer the peace of mind of a torque wrench, esp for the important stuff like suspension. Or anything in soft alloy. Anyway, a torque wrench is just a big ratchet that makes a click :lol:
 
Follow what the Haynes manual says then for the items listed above as they will be the same, the only difference in the SF's between the Aus and US spec models in the drive train/engine and some minor cosmetics. Non of which you are referring too.. ;)

I'm a pretty serious guy too until I've had a few drinks. However I like to have a few drinks most of the time unless I'm at work.

Come over here and I'll show you how to do the suspension work.. :P

Dunno when but some day I'll be doing just that. I've got a brother in Perth with a Honda CRV who needs to be shown what a Subie can do lol :iconwink::lildevil:
