MG TC Torque values

[davjak@aol.com]

Where may I find the correct tightening torque values in lbft for my TC? I am missing a few pages in my service manual. The list in the TC gallery is helpful but a few listings are not there: BC steering arm to 1st ball joint, steering linkage arm to the stub axle (2 bolts). I am sure they are listed somewhere obvious...just not obvious to me.. Thanks, Dave [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I don't recall any official torque values for a lot of things, these among them. Probably "tight" but do not enter into a contest of strength with the bolt. There is a LOT of stuff on cars without official torque values. I know you are trying to be exact, but "tight" works on most things, and is how the car was built...... And no, not on heads, etc.....

Hi, My workshop manual says "reassemble all parts. When adjusting the slotted end plug should be screwed up tightly and then released half a turn and the split pin replaced" There is no reference in any of my manuals or books on TC's to totque values. Hope this has been some help John Grist Sydney Australia --- davjak@aol.com wrote:
