ERWIN says:-

Damper top nut is 60Nm

The three bolts for the top bearing/top mounting = 15Nm then 90deg turn. (new bolts every time). (top mounting must have the arrow marks on the inside with one facing direction of travel)

Big Feck off lower damper bolt = 70Nm then 180deg turn. (new bolt/nut every time.) tip of bolt must point in direction of travel

Three lower nuts from ball joint plate to lower arm = 40Nm then 45deg turn, tighten in unladen position...(new nuts every time)

Big nut on lower ball joint to hub carrier = 60Nm (new nut every time)

Nut for ARB drop link ball joint on damper strut = 65Nm (new every time)
