SUBJECT: Tightening, New Ball Joint Nut
REFERENCE: VADIS
DESCRIPTION:
We have introduced a new ball joint stud nut in production and as a spare part (PN 30714151). This new nut supersedes all previous nuts and requires a
new tightening torque method and specification.
If a ball joint requires disassembly on any of the listed vehicles the nut must be replaced and the revised tightening method listed below must be used.
SERVICE:
Installing the ball joint nut
1
Torque tightening,
Install a new nut.
Important! The ball joint pinion must not rotate. Use special tool 951 2927 (torx 40 long version) as a counterhold to prevent damaging the rubber boot.
Tighten the joint. Tighten to 50 Nm. Using counterhold.
Use Socket 999 5500 with torque wrench.
Then continue with angle-tightening. See step 4.
Angle-tighten 35° Use angle gauge 951 2050 or equivalent.

Note!
A counterhold is not required when angle tightening if the joint has been tightened to 50 Nm. The friction between the ball joint and control arm is
greater than between the nut and threads on the ball joint.
