Also top mount nut please if you have it

Hi guys

Got the new leg now, old one off and about to reinstall. Just waiting for new hub nut as believe stretch and only 1 time use. Im not not sure where to get all my torque ratings from if anyone can help please

Lower ball joint 3 nuts

Most importantly the hub/axle nut. Seen one say 75NM and another 148NM +90degrees so a massive difference. Wanted to double check as steering and if I get wrong could be dangerous. 

Also are wheel lug nuts 125NM ?

Hi I wouldn't worry about torque settings for the lower ball joints etc as just tight will suffice if you are using the original fixings, the hub nut I would do at 80nm as 148nm sounds like overkill anything I have ever reassembled has always been a case of tighten until it wont turn, a drop of blue thread lock works as well as it stops the nut/bolt from collecting moisture as well as stopping any creeping on the thread, if you really want all torque settings they are all on line, along with the lug nut settings.

Ok thanks

I saw something about axle nut torque being important as sets rolling load etc for the bearing. Would you say 80 + 90° or just the 80 sorry?

Where online would you suggest please? I tried to Google but just found different sites all had different answers
